Yates v. Yates

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 6, 1977
58 A.D.2d 579 (N.Y. App. Div. 1977)

Opinion

June 6, 1977


In a matrimonial action, plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, entered April 28, 1975, which, after a nonjury trial, inter alia, failed to grant him a divorce and made provisions for support of the defendant. Judgment affirmed, with costs. We agree with the trial court that the plaintiff-appellant failed to establish such cruel and inhuman conduct by the defendant-respondent in this marriage of more than 30 years' duration as rendered "it unsafe or improper for the plaintiff to cohabit with the defendant" (see Domestic Relations Law, § 170, subd [1]; see, also, Hessen v Hessen, 33 N.Y.2d 406; Lebovic v Lebovic, 52 A.D.2d 918). Martuscello, J.P., Latham, Margett and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
