William R. Bahr, Respondent, v Cynthia Bahr, Appellant.
   Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Westchester County (Schneider, J.), dated June 4,1981, which granted the petitioner father’s request for modification of the visitation provisions contained in a judgment of divorce issued in a foreign jurisdiction. Order reversed, on the law, with costs and petition dismissed. The identical issue, after a full and complete opportunity to contest jurisdiction, was decided in a prior proceeding in New York and is therefore binding (see Schwartz v Public Administrator of County of Bronx, 24 NY2d 65; Israel v Wood Dolson Co., 1 NY2d 116). Titone, J. P., Mangano, Bracken and Boyers, JJ., concur.
