Matter of Sagendorf

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jun 28, 1939
257 App. Div. 1042 (N.Y. App. Div. 1939)

Opinion

June 28, 1939.

Present — Sears, P.J., Crosby, Lewis, Cunningham and Dowling, JJ.


Order reversed on the law and facts, without costs of this appeal to either party, and a new trial granted. Memorandum: The father of the dependents on relief being primarily liable for their support, and the appellant, grandmother, being only secondarily liable, we hold that the finding, which is implicit in the order appealed from, that the father is unable to respond to his duty to support his children is contrary to and against the weight of the evidence. We also hold that it was improper to charge the entire cost of the proceeding against the appellant. All concur. (The order directs a grandmother to contribute to the support of grandchildren.)
