Opinion
November 13, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Stolarik, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
We discern no error in the court limiting the defendant's maintenance award to $125 per week for seven years, inasmuch as the court properly weighed the necessary factors, especially that of the plaintiff's limited financial means resulting from the expenses attendant to his support of the parties' three children (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [6]; Majauskas v Majauskas, 61 N.Y.2d 481; Loeb v Loeb, 186 A.D.2d 174). In addition, the court correctly concluded that the best interests of the children would be served by limiting the defendant's visitation rights to Sundays ( see, Friederwitzer v Friederwitzer, 55 N.Y.2d 89; McDonald v McDonald, 216 A.D.2d 276; John v John, 214 A.D.2d 536). Finally, the court properly declined to award the defendant counsel fees in light of the plaintiff's "precarious financial condition" (Anderson v Anderson, 153 A.D.2d 823, 825; Domestic Relations Law § 237 [a]). Thompson, J.P., Joy, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
