DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Under the facts of this case, the Family Court's failure to hold a dispositional hearing does not require reversal ( see Matter of Dabbene v. Dabbene, 297 A.D.2d 812, 813; Matter of Annie C. v. Marcellus W., 278 A.D.2d 177; Matter of Quintana v. Quintana, 237 A.D.2d 130; cf. Matter of Alice C. v. Joseph C., 212 A.D.2d 698). Moreover, the Family Court's finding that aggravating circumstances were present, justifying extending the order of protection to three years, is supported by the record ( see Matter of Mawhirt v. Mawhirt, 241 A.D.2d 524; Matter of Reilly v. Reilly, 254 A.D.2d 361, 362).

The husband's remaining contentions are without merit.

KRAUSMAN, J.P., SCHMIDT, COZIER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
