In the Matter of David Staib, Respondent, v Christine Staib, Appellant.
    [827 NYS2d 700]
   In a habeas corpus proceeding pursuant to Domestic Relations Law § 70, the mother appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Bivona, J.), dated January 26, 2006, which, in effect, granted the petition by, inter alia, providing that the parties shall have joint custody of the subject children and establishing a schedule of visitation.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

That part of the order on appeal providing that the parties shall have joint custody of the subject children was based on the appellant’s open-court stipulation. The stipulation was not an agreement to agree, and therefore was enforceable, as it contained all material terms (cf. Matter of Burnett v Student, 278 AD2d 626 [2000]; Sagan v Sagan, 73 AD2d 509, 510 [1979]; Parrinelli v Parrinelli, 138 Misc 2d 49 [1988]). The Supreme Court properly resolved the outstanding issues with respect to visitation (see People ex rel. Mollo v Mollo, 110 AD2d 686, 687 [1985]).

The appellant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Crane, J.E, Skelos, Lifson and Dillon, JJ., concur.
