Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The father failed to make a prima facie showing of a substantial change incircumstances. Thus, the Supreme Court properly denied, without a hearing, the father'spetition for a downward modification of his child support obligations (see Matter of Bono v Pitre, 97AD3d 743 [2012]).
