ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Family Court properly found that the father failed to adequately disclose his income and assets, and imputed income to him of $80,000 per year (see Family Ct Act § 413[k]). Where, as here, a party's account of his or her income and assets is not believable, the court is justified in finding a true or potential income higher than that claimed (see Thomas v. DeFalco, 270 A.D.2d 277; Brown v. Brown, 239 A.D.2d 535). The imputation of $80,000 per year of income to the father is reasonable and supported by the record.
While it is well settled that a court may determine child support on the basis of a party's earning potential (see Petek v. Petek, 239 A.D.2d 327, 328), there is nothing in the record to rebut the mother's contention that she is a stay-at-home mother who has no earnings. Thus, the Family Court properly calculated support based on the mother having an income of zero.
The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
