Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 2, 1976
53 A.D.2d 1006 (N.Y. App. Div. 1976)

Opinion

July 2, 1976

Appeal from the Onondaga Supreme Court.

Present — Cardamone, J.P., Simons, Mahoney, Dillon and Witmer, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: The order insofar as it granted plaintiffs partial summary judgment is affirmed for the reasons stated in the memorandum decision of Special Term. The Court of Appeals has passed upon this question twice and held that a mother may waive support provisions for the benefit of an infant arising out of a separation agreement between the mother and father (Kott v Kott, 16 A.D.2d 941, affd 14 N.Y.2d 971; Axelrad v Axelrad, 285 App. Div. 903, affd 309 N.Y. 687). Furthermore, this separation agreement, which created the support obligation, provided that it could be modified by the parties, and the stipulation in Family Court evidenced the parties' agreement that it should be modified.
