In the Matter of NANCY M., Appellant, v. BRIAN M., Respondent. (Proceeding No. 1.) In the Matter of BRIAN M., Respondent,

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

"Visitation is a joint right of the noncustodial parent and of the child" ( Weiss v. Weiss, 52 N.Y.2d 170, 175). Absent extraordinary circumstances where visitation would be detrimental to the child's well-being, a noncustodial parent has a right to reasonable visitation privileges ( Twersky v. Twersky, 103 A.D.2d 775, 776; see, Weiss v. Weiss, supra, at 175). Additionally, the hearing court's determination will not be set aside or modified unless it lacks a sound and substantial basis ( see, Koppenhoefer v. Koppenhoefer, 159 A.D.2d 113). Here, the Family Court correctly determined that there was an insufficient showing that unsupervised visitation would be detrimental to the child's well-being ( see, Matter of Gerald D. v. Lucille S., 188 A.D.2d 650).

The mother's remaining contentions lack merit. Thompson, J.P., Santucci, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
