Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
In reviewing a determination made by the Family Court, great deference should be given to the decision of the Hearing Examiner "`who [was] in the best position to assess the credibility of witnesses and the evidence proffered'" (Matter of Alamo v Alamo, 168 A.D.2d 493, 494; Matter of Drago v Drago, 138 A.D.2d 704; Matter of McCarthy v Braiman, 125 A.D.2d 572). Upon our review of the record, we cannot say that the findings of the Hearing Examiner were unsupported by the credible evidence, and that a different determination is warranted (see, Matter of McCarthy v Braiman, supra). Accordingly, we decline to disturb the Family Court's determination.
We have examined the appellant's remaining contention and find that it is without merit. Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Eiber and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
