DECISION & ORDER
Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Rockland County (William P. Warren, J.), dated January 4, 2013. The order granted those branches of the mother's petitions which sought a determination that the father violated previous orders of visitation.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the father's contention, the Family Court's determination that he intentionally and repeatedly violated multiple orders of visitation had a sound and substantial basis in the record (see Matter of Wright v LaRose , 271 AD2d 615). The hearing evidence established that, on several occasions, the father failed to provide the mother with her court-ordered visitation.
The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
DILLON, J.P., LEVENTHAL, SGROI and HINDS-RADIX, JJ., concur.

Clerk of the Court
