Opinion
November 6, 1972
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entered October 7, 1971, which, after a nonjury trial, granted plaintiff a divorce, alimony, child support, a counsel fee and other relief. Judgment modified, on the facts, by reducing the award of a counsel fee from $5,000 to $2,000. As so modified, judgment affirmed, with costs to respondent. In our opinion, the counsel fee award was excessive to the extent indicated herein. Hopkins, Acting P.J., Munder, Martuscello, Gulotta and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
