In the Matter of NANCY A. LeMOYNE, Respondent, v. HOWARD STORY, Appellant. (Appeal No. 1.)

Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and petition dismissed. Memorandum: Respondent contends that it was error for Family Court to grant petitioner's request for an upward modification of the child support provided in the parties' separation agreement. We agree. Petitioner's proof failed to establish either an unanticipated and unreasonable change of circumstances (see, Boden v Boden, 42 N.Y.2d 210, 213), or that the child's needs were not being adequately met (see, Brescia v Fitts, 56 N.Y.2d 132, 140; Labita v Labita, 147 A.D.2d 535, 536). Because there was no voluntary agreement or special circumstances, it was also error for Family Court to direct respondent to contribute towards the child's private school tuition (see, Matter of Mineo v Mineo, 191 A.D.2d 1002; see also, Matter of Howard v Howard, 186 A.D.2d 132).
