Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided May 27, 1994
204 A.D.2d 1029; 614 N.Y.S.2d 959; 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6856
Talbot v. Talbot

Opinion of the Court

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court properly considered the circumstances of the parties in determining the best interests of the child (see, Domestic Relations Law § 240; Eschbach v Eschbach, 56 NY2d 167; Friederwitzer v Friederwitzer, 55 NY2d 89). When the decision of a trial court is justified by the evidence, an appellate court should be reluctant to substitute its own decision (see, Eschbach v Eschbach, supra, at 173; Burke v White, 126 AD2d 838, 841; Robinson v Robinson, 111 AD2d 316, 318, appeal dismissed 66 NY2d 613). (Appeal from Order of Steuben County Family Court, Purple, Jr., J.—Custody.) Present—Denman, P. J., Green, Lawton, Wesley and Callahan, JJ. •
