    Here, plaintiff was compelled to bring this motion to enforce the terms of the Judgment of Divorce, and defendant has failed to rebut the statutory presumption that plaintiff, as the less monied spouse, is entitled to attorney's fees (see Mollah v Mollah, 136 A.D.3d 992, 994 [2d Dept 2016]). Plaintiff has submitted itemized billing statements as proof of the attorney's fees incurred by her, which establish the "extent and value of [the] services" rendered to her (see Yakobowicz v Yakobowicz, 217 A.D.3d 733, 737 [2d Dept 2023]).
