Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Family Court properly refused to disturb the Support Magistrate's order directing the father to pay $1,200 per month in child support retroactive to June 11, 2002. The Family Court determined, and the record demonstrates, that the father's financial circumstances were self-created due to his arrest and resulting termination of employment ( see Matter of Knights v. Knights, 71 NY2d 865, 867; Stempler v. Stempler, 200 AD2d 733). He failed to proffer any evidence that he had made substantial efforts to gain employment since his employment was terminated ( see Matter of Nappi v. Nappi, 8 AD3d 388, 389), and there were serious questions as to his credibility ( see Matter of Musumeci v. Musumeci, 295 AD2d 516). Thus, the Family Court's denial of the father's objections was proper.
