DECISION ORDER

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

The Family Court's findings, made after a hearing, have a sound and substantial basis in the record and should be accorded great deference on appeal (see, Matter of Ebert v. Ebert, 38 N.Y.2d 700, 703; Matter of Vernon Mc. v. Brenda N., 196 A.D.2d 823). It is clear that the Family Court considered the totality of the circumstances in determining that the best interests of the parties' children would be served by continuing custody with the father (see, Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167; Matter of Paul Seth G. v. Antoinette M., 227 A.D.2d 620, 622). Accordingly, the determination of the Family Court will not be disturbed.
