Opinion
July 12, 1977
Appeal from the Monroe County Family Court.
Present — Cardamone, J.P., Simons, Hancock, Denman and Witmer, JJ.
Order unanimously modified, on the law, and facts, in accordance with memorandum, and, as modified, affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: We affirm the retroactive award of support from November 28, 1975 for respondent wife in the amount of $145 per week and $20 per week for the parties' son until he reached age 21 on July 3, 1976 (Kover v Kover, 29 N.Y.2d 408; Harris v Harris, 259 N.Y. 334; Neubauer v Neubauer, 57 A.D.2d 732). In our view, counsel fees should be reduced to $4,900 plus $411.10 disbursements. This sum more adequately reflects an appropriate award for services under the circumstances present in this support proceeding instituted under section 412 FCT of the Family Court Act.
