MATTER OF KISS v. KISS

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 1, 1934
242 App. Div. 691 (N.Y. App. Div. 1934)

Opinion

July, 1934.


Order of the Domestic Relations Court of the City of New York, directing appellant to pay two dollars a week for the support of petitioner, reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, and application denied, without costs, and without prejudice to a renewal upon a showing of changed circumstances. We are constrained to hold, upon this record, that petitioner, under subdivision 5, section 92, chapter 482, Laws of 1933, is not "industrially incapacitated for selfsupport," a condition prerequisite to requiring support. It may be that a loss of her situation, if such were to happen, would bring petitioner within the subdivision cited. We are of the further opinion that upon appellant's own testimony there is a confessed abandonment which would justify the wife in renewing her application for alimony in her separation action. Lazansky, P.J., Young, Kapper and Tompkins, JJ., concur; Carswell, J., concurs in result.
