Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: In this custody proceeding, Family Court properly weighed and considered the appropriate factors affecting the best interests of the children, including the quality of the respective home environments of the parties ( see, Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167, 171-174). The court was "in the best position to evaluate the character and credibility of the witnesses" ( Matter of Paul C. v. Tracy C., 209 A.D.2d 955, 956). Its determination has a sound and substantial basis in the record and should not be disturbed ( see, Matter of Gloria S. v. Richard B., 80 A.D.2d 72, 76).
