DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as appealed from. without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court's determination, which was based on a firsthand assessment of the credibility of the witnesses and of the character, temperament, and sincerity of the parties, had a sound and substantial basis in the record ( see, Matter of Louise E. S. v. W. Stephen S., 64 N.Y.2d 946; Matter of Coyne v. Coyne, 150 A.D.2d 573; Matter of Gloria S. v. Richard B., 80 A.D.2d 72) and for that reason we decline to disturb it.

The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.

RITTER, J.P., THOMPSON, FEUERSTEIN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
