Opinion
October 6, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen Bransten, J.).
The award of counsel fees in this matrimonial action was amply justified by the financial circumstances of the parties, as well as by the substantial motion and appellate practice that has already occurred in this matrimonial action ( see, DeCabrera v. Cabrera-Rosete, 70 N.Y.2d 879, 881). The fee award was supported by adequate documentation, and the court properly found the legal services to be compensable pursuant to Domestic Relations Law § 237 ( see, Wyser-Pratte v. Wyser-Pratte, 160 A.D.2d 290). We find nothing in the parties' prenuptial agreement that precludes defendant from obtaining such interim attorney's fees.
We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.
