Ordered that the order entered March 24, 1992, is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We find that a de novo determination of the father's child support obligations pursuant to the Child Support Standards Act (see, Domestic Relations Law § 240; Family Ct Act § 413), was warranted since there were persuasive allegations that the children's needs were not being met (see, Matter of Fetherston v Fetherston, 172 A.D.2d 831).
We have examined the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Santucci, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
