191 A.D.2d 564 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 15, 1993

Appeal from the Family Court, Nassau County (Mosca, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Taking into account the various factors to be considered in the making of an award of counsel fees including, among other factors, the parties' ability to pay, the nature and extent of the services rendered, the complexity of the issues involved, and counsel's experience, ability and reputation (see, Matter of Getman v. Getman, 156 A.D.2d 686; Shrauger v. Shrauger, 146 A.D.2d 955; McCann v. Guterl, 100 A.D.2d 577; Sampson v. Glazer, 109 A.D.2d 831), we find that an award of $2,000 was not an improvident exercise of discretion (see, Family Ct Act § 438 [a]; Matter of McCullough v. Falardeau, 184 A.D.2d 989; Peltz v. Peltz, 170 A.D.2d 443; Taylor v. Taylor, 122 A.D.2d 134). Sullivan, J.P., Balletta, O'Brien and Santucci, JJ., concur.
