In the Matter of JANETTE D. STASI, Respondent, v. WILLIAM PENAGOS, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the father's contentions, the Family Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in directing that his visits with the parties' minor child be supervised. When, as here, there has been a full evidentiary hearing, the Family Court's findings are accorded great weight on appeal (see, D'Errico v. D'Errico, 158 A.D.2d 503, 504). Under the circumstances of this case, supervised visitation is in the best interests of the child (see, Weiss v. Weiss, 52 N.Y.2d 170, 174-175), and it "has a sound and substantial basis in the record" (Matter of Carl J.B. v. Dorothy T., 186 A.D.2d 736, 738). Lawrence, J.P., O'Brien, Joy and Altman, JJ., concur.
