DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the mother's objections to the order of the Hearing Examiner are denied, and the order of the Hearing Examiner is reinstated.
The Family Court failed to sufficiently articulate the reasons why it sustained the mother's objections to the order of the Hearing Examiner to the extent of remitting the matter to a different Hearing Examiner for a new hearing. It is unclear why the Family Court was unable to make a determination without a new hearing (see, Family Ct Act § § 435[a], 439[c]; CPLR 4213[b]; Kimmel v. Mifflin, 240 A.D.2d 471 ; Matter of Cassano v. Cassano, 85 N.Y.2d 649 ;Zaremba v. Zaremba, 222 A.D.2d 500 ).
In addition, the record supports the Hearing Examiner's finding that the father's loss of employment and subsequent change in careers, necessitated by his mental condition, affected his earning capacity and constituted a change of circumstances which warranted a downward modification of his child support obligation (see, Matter of Meyer v. Meyer, 205 A.D.2d 784 ).
