Opinion
January 25, 1996
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.).
The wishes of defendant's second wife that her income no longer be used to pay defendant's child support obligation is not a change of circumstances warranting a downward modification of support. The court obligated defendant, not his second wife, to pay child support, and if the latter has had a change of heart as to how she wishes family resources to be allocated, then defendant must find some other means of meeting his obligation ( see, Hickland v Hickland, 39 N.Y.2d 1, 6, cert denied 429 U.S. 941; Ferlo v Ferlo, 152 A.D.2d 980, 980-981).
