Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 29, 1974
45 A.D.2d 1018 (N.Y. App. Div. 1974)

Opinion

July 29, 1974


In an action for a divorce, plaintiff appeals from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated June 11, 1973, as, fixed the amounts of alimony, child support and counsel fees. Judgment modified by (1) increasing the amount of alimony to the sum of $300 per week; (2) increasing the amount of support to the infant children to the sum of $75 a week per child; (3) increasing the additional counsel fee awarded to the sum of $10,000; and (4) adding thereto a provision providing that defendant is directed to reimburse the plaintiff for the reasonable summer camp expenses of the infant children and that the awards of child support are without prejudice to further applications by the plaintiff to compel the defendant to pay the reasonable college expenses of the infant children. As so modified, judgment affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs. The amounts awarded by Special Term for alimony and child support did not adequately reflect the preseparation standard of living of the parties. Further, the judgment should have provided for the reasonable payment of summer camp expenses by the defendant by virtue of his previous assumption of such payments. The award of counsel fees should be increased to the extent indicated. Hopkins, Acting P.J., Martuscello, Shapiro, Christ and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
