v
Robert S. Jones, Respondent.

[*1]Celia Ficken Broomhall, Gilead, Maine, appellant pro se.

Robert S. Jones, Montgomery, N.Y., respondent pro se.

In a child support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the mother appeals froman order of the Family Court, Orange County (Bivona, J.), entered February 23, 2007, whichdenied her objections to an order of the same court (Braxton, S.M.), dated November 13, 2006,which, after a hearing, denied her application for a downward modification of her child supportobligation.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court properly denied the mother's objections to the Support Magistrate's orderon the ground that she failed to satisfy her burden of establishing an unanticipated change incircumstances to warrant a downward modification of her child support obligation. Any changein circumstances was of the mother's own making (see Matter of Connolly v Connolly, 39 AD3d 643 [2007]; Schlakman v Schlakman, 38 AD3d640 [2007]; Matter of Bouchard v Bouchard, 263 AD2d 775 [1999]). Mastro, J.P.,Dillon, Covello and Angiolillo, JJ., concur.
