MATTER OF LIPPMANN v. LIPPMANN

Ordered that the orders are affirmed, with one bill of costs.

The evidence adduced at the hearing established, by competent proof, that the appellant willfully violated the order of protection ( see, Family Ct Act § 846-a; see also, Haber v. Haber, 225 A.D.2d 664; Graham v. Graham, 152 A.D.2d 653). Additionally, it was not an improvident exercise of discretion for the Family Court to sentence the appellant to six months incarceration for willful violation of the January 4, 1996, order ( see, Family Ct Act § 846-a; Matter of Arguinzoni v. Arguinzoni, 210 A.D.2d 324), and its issuance of a final order of protection was proper ( see, Family Ct Act § 656).

Miller, J.P., Sullivan, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
