We find no basis to disturb the court’s findings of credibility, or the court’s exercise of discretion and rulings of law with *405respect to the distribution of property, child support, visitation, or other financial findings and rulings. Nor do we find a basis to disturb its conclusions regarding the likelihood that the defendant might flee to Israel with the children in disregard of any order issued by a court of this State.
