In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the defendant appeals, as limited by her brief, from stated portions of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McNulty, J.), entered May 28, 1999, which, inter alia, awarded her maintenance of only $2,000 per week for only 10 years, and the plaintiff cross-appeals, as limited by his brief, from stated portions of the same judgment which, inter alia, awarded the defendant maintenance of $2,000 per week for 10 years.
Howard B. Felcher, New York, N.Y. (Diane S. Uyar of counsel), for appellant-respondent.
Goldstein, Rubinton, Goldstein DiFazio, P.C., Huntington, N Y (S. Russ DiFazio and Peter D. Rubinton of counsel), for respondent-appellant.
Before: GUY JAMES MANGANO, P.J., SONDRA MILLER, WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed and cross-appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The trial court properly awarded the defendant 30% of the plaintiff's partnership interest in his law firm (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236[B][5][d][6]).
Moreover, the trial court properly considered all relevant factors before awarding maintenance to the defendant, and the amount and the duration of the award represent a provident exercise of discretion (see, O'Shea v. O'Shea, 237 A.D.2d 499, revd on other grounds 93 N.Y.2d 187; Sperling v. Sperling, 165 A.D.2d 338).
The parties' remaining contentions are without merit.
