Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Gloria Sosa-Lintner, J.).
In reducing the attorney's fee, we take into account the Family Court's mistaken finding that the Hearing Examiner did not provide for retroactive support in the final child support order, and that, therefore, respondent father had received a financial windfall of $8,250 and was able to contribute more to legal fees. In fact, the father was obligated to pay $15,000 in child support arrears.
