260 A.D.2d 603 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

688 N.Y.S.2d 669

Opinion

April 26, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Shapiro, J.).

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The record supports the conclusion that the defendant's refusal to comply with prior orders of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, directing the payment of child support to the plaintiff was willful and calculated to defeat the plaintiffs rights, and that other means of enforcement would be ineffectual ( see, Domestic Relations Law § 245).

Mangano, P. J., H. Miller, Feuerstein, Schmidt and Smith, JJ., concur.
