Madden v. Madden

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 10, 1980
78 A.D.2d 874 (N.Y. App. Div. 1980)

Opinion

November 10, 1980


In an action for divorce, plaintiff appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, entered January 8, 1980, which granted defendant's application for a change of venue from Bronx County to Westchester County. Order reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, and motion denied. Special Term erred in holding that CPLR 507 and Turner v. Turner ( 84 Misc.2d 229) supported a change of venue. The court in Bronx County may clearly determine any question as to title or possession of real property arising incident to the matrimonial action, notwithstanding that such property is located in Westchester County. (See Domestic Relations Law, § 234; Siegel, 1964 Practice Commentary, McKinney's Cons Laws of N.Y., Book 14, Domestic Relations Law, § 234, 1979-1980 Pocket Part, p 8.) Hopkins, J.P., Damiani, Titone and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
