ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Since the child support order that was entered in Florida expired, and the child was less than 21 years of age as of the date of the Hearing Examiner's order (see Family Court Act § 413[a]), the Family Court had the power to issue a new child support order in the instant proceeding (see Matter of Hauger v. Hauger, 256 A.D.2d 1076, 1077; Matter of Goodison v. Goodison, 184 Misc.2d 573).
The record supports the Hearing Examiner's determination that the child did not abandon the parental relationship with the appellant (see Matter of Villota v. Zelenak, 203 A.D.2d 370, 371). Under the circumstances, the child support award was a provident exercise of the Family Court's discretion (see Matter of Palmieri v. La Conti, 242 A.D.2d 537; Matter of Picciullo v. Collein, 226 A.D.2d 643).
