In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the plaintiff appeals from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dorsa, J.), dated November 15, 2002, which denied her motion to hold the defendant in contempt of certain support obligations and granted the defendant's cross motion for an award of an attorney's fee, (2) an order of the same court dated January 6, 2003, which denied her motion to direct the defendant to produce certain documents and awarded the defendant an attorney's fee, and (3) an order of the same court dated January 8, 2003, which denied her motion to hold certain nonparties in contempt and granted that branch of their cross motion which was, in effect, for an award of an attorney's fee.

David H. Singer, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Snitow, Kanfer, Holtzer Millus, LLP, New York, N.Y. (Franklyn H. Snitow of counsel), for respondent.
