Opinion
February 2, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Genesee County, Wolf, Jr., J.
Present — Denman, P.J., Green, Wesley, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in awarding plaintiff counsel fees of $3,000 and disbursements in the amount of $533.04 (see, DeCabrera v. Cabrera-Rosete, 70 N.Y.2d 879, 881; see also, DiSanto v. DiSanto, 198 A.D.2d 838, 839). Contrary to the contention of defendant, it is not necessary in a matrimonial action for plaintiff to exhaust her resources in order to be entitled to an award of counsel fees (see, Behrmann v. Behrmann, 204 A.D.2d 1076).
