MATTER OF KEFELI v. KEFELI

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Family Court properly rejected the father `s claim that because of, inter alia, his prolonged unemployment, he was entitled to a suspension of his child support obligation. The father failed to present any competent evidence to support his claim that he had used his best efforts to obtain employment commensurate with his qualifications and experience (see, Matter of Dallin v. Dallin, 250 A.D.2d 847 ; Matter of Heverin v. Sackel, 239 A.D.2d 418 ; Matter of Yepes v. Fichera, 230 A.D.2d 803 ).

The father's remaining contentions lack merit.
