Matter of Cornwell v. Cornwell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 8, 1976
51 A.D.2d 607 (N.Y. App. Div. 1976)

Opinion

January 8, 1976


Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Broome County, entered October 2, 1975, which found that appellant had willfully violated an order of the court and sentenced him to 90 days in the Broome County Jail. It is evident from the record that appellant is not sentenced to jail for failure to make support payments but solely for a willful disobedience of a mandate of the court (see Chase v Griffin, 31 A.D.2d 681; Fuller v Fuller, 31 A.D.2d 587; Matter of Hoyt v Pierce, 31 A.D.2d 582). Order affirmed, with costs. Greenblott, J.P., Sweeney, Main, Larkin and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
