Block v. Block

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 29, 1988
137 A.D.2d 780 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

February 29, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Burstein, J.).


Ordered that the order is modified, on the law and the facts, by reducing the award of counsel fees to the defendant wife from $22,000 to $16,000; as so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

After review of the record in light of the parties' respective financial positions (see, Domestic Relations Law § 237; Borakove v Borakove, 116 A.D.2d 683), we are of the view that the award of counsel fees was excessive to the extent indicated. Mollen, P.J., Kunzeman, Rubin and Balletta, JJ., concur.
