Boyd v. Boyd

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 6, 1972
40 A.D.2d 588 (N.Y. App. Div. 1972)

Opinion

July 6, 1972

Appeal from the Wayne County Family Court.

Present — Del Vecchio, J.P., Witmer, Gabrielli, Moule and Cardamone, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: Since the decree of divorce rendered by Supreme Court did not proscribe the exercise of jurisdiction by Family Court, the latter court had authority to entertain the application for enforcement and modification of the support provision of the decree (Family Ct. Act, § 461, subd. [b]; § 466, subd. [c]; Desroches v. Desroches, 23 A.D.2d 903). The proof before it, showing that appellant had incurred obligations for non-necessities since his remarriage, fully justified the court's refusal to reduce the already minimal support provisions for the children of his first marriage.
