Before: Sullivan, P.J., Williams, Mazzarelli, Wallach, Rubin, JJ.
We decline to disturb the award, there being no showing of either exigent circumstances or a failure by the motion court to properly consider the factors specified in Domestic Relations Law § 236(B)(6) and § 237(a). Traditionally, an aggrieved party's remedy for any perceived inequities in the award has been a speedy trial (see, Anonymous v. Anonymous, 241 A.D.2d 353; Charpie' v. Charpie', 271 A.D.2d 169, 171-172). Nowadays, if a pendente lite award is found at trial to be excessive, the court can remedy the inequity by appropriate adjustment in the equitable distribution award.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
