Appellant was not entitled to a hearing on the issue of the value of his services, having expressly waived any right thereto (see, Matter of Goldman v Goldman, 201 AD2d 860, 862). The record supports the findings of the Surrogate underlying her assessment of appellant’s services. Concur — Sullivan, P. J., Nardelli, Williams, Mazzarelli and Saxe, JJ.
