Benisatto v. Benisatto

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

151 A.D.2d 533 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

June 12, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Dempsey, J.H.O.).


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

Under the circumstances presented in this case, we conclude that court's award to the defendant of $365 per week in maintenance through her last semester of law school and for one year thereafter was entirely proper. The record reveals that the defendant delayed her law career and provided substantial services, both in the home and in the plaintiff's chiropractic office, in furtherance of his career (see, Casale v. Casale, 111 A.D.2d 737; Hillmann v. Hillmann, 109 A.D.2d 777). In light of these factors and the income that the plaintiff's practice now generates, neither the amount nor the duration of the maintenance award was unreasonable.

Furthermore, the record belies the plaintiff's assertion that the court failed to set forth the factors it considered in making its child support determination as required by Domestic Relations Law § 236 (B) (7). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Eiber, JJ., concur.
