Patanjo v. Patanjo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 19, 1995
216 A.D.2d 446 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 19, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Dunn, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from with costs.

In this case, the best remedy for the perceived inequity in the court's pendente lite maintenance award is a speedy trial at which the husband's claim that the award places an undue burden on the parties' marital estate can be fully explored (see, Terceira v. Terceira, 193 A.D.2d 729).

Further, the husband's demand for an accounting of the wife's alleged dissipation or secretion of marital assets during the marriage is properly left to the trial and pretrial discovery (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [4]). Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
