Matter of Blake v. McKamy

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

170 A.D.2d 411 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

February 28, 1991

Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Judith Sheindlin, F.C.J.).


The agreement reveals an intent by the parties to treat the unallocated amount of $35,000 per year, payable by respondent, as spousal maintenance. Accordingly, respondent was required to prove extreme hardship in order to obtain a downward modification of the agreement (Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B]). A sufficient basis exists in the record to support our determination that the respondent failed to meet his burden of proof.

Concur — Carro, J.P., Ellerin, Kupferman, Smith and Rubin, JJ.
