Birnbaum v. Birnbaum

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 14, 1991
177 A.D.2d 367 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

November 14, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Phyllis Gangel-Jacob, J.).


In this action for divorce, the trial court, crediting plaintiff's testimony with regard to the acts of cruelty allegedly performed by the defendant, found that since May, 1987, the defendant failed to provide companionship, affection or love to the plaintiff, refused to communicate with her, and treated her with hostility. Despite defendant's denials, his testimony in fact tended to corroborate that of the plaintiff and the record amply supports the court's findings.

We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Milonas, J.P., Ellerin, Kupferman and Asch, JJ.
