“The extent to which the noncustodial parent may exercise parenting time is a matter committed to the sound discretion of the hearing court, to be determined on the basis of the best interests of the child” (Chamberlain v Chamberlain, 24 AD3d 589, 592 [2005]). The Family Court’s determination regarding visitation was not an improvident exercise of its discretion (cf. Chamberlain v Chamberlain, 24 AD3d at 592). Covello, J.E, Angiolillo, Balkin and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
