Dobbs v. Dobbs

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 20, 1992
186 A.D.2d 455 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

October 20, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jacqueline W. Silbermann, J.).


We agree with the IAS Court that this action for divorce was properly brought in New York County, plaintiff having established a residence here at the time she commenced the action (CPLR 503 [a]). Although plaintiff had lived in New York County for only a brief time, the court in determining the bona fides of her intent to stay here with "`some degree of permanency'" (Mandelbaum v Mandelbaum, 151 A.D.2d 727, 728), properly considered her claim of abuse by defendant, her consequent need to flee the marital home, and her sworn statement of intent to remain in New York County (see, Lawson v Lawson, 64 N.Y.S.2d 356).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Milonas, Rosenberger, Ross and Asch, JJ.
