Matter of Schultz v. Schultz

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

117 A.D.2d 737 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

February 18, 1986

Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Pearce, J.).


Appeal dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The husband's obligation to make biweekly support payments of $100 and an additional $100 biweekly toward arrears which were set at $800, was fixed by order of the Family Court, Queens County (Pearce, J.), dated May 29, 1984. That order was admittedly made upon consent and was unappealable. The order under review, dated September 12, 1984, dismissed the branch of the husband's motion which was to modify that prior order. Such an order is not appealable as of right (Family Ct Act § 1112 [a]; Matter of Brenner v. Brenner, 57 A.D.2d 813, appeal dismissed 48 N.Y.2d 713, lv denied 51 N.Y.2d 766; Matter of Lance S., 51 A.D.2d 1057; Gauquie v. Gauquie, 17 A.D.2d 611; Giuliano v. Giuliano, 278 App. Div. 850). The husband's interpretation of the order under review as one which also denied the branch of his motion which was to set a schedule of child visitation is erroneous. The order merely notes that that branch of the motion had previously been denied in another part of the court. However, even if it had denied the branch of the motion concerning visitation, that portion of the order would also not have been appealable as of right (Rizzo v. Rizzo, 31 A.D.2d 1001; Klein v. Klein, 8 A.D.2d 844). No timely motion for leave to appeal has been made, and we decline to exercise our discretionary power to deem the notice of appeal to be such an application.

Were the appeal properly before us, we would have affirmed. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Kooper, JJ., concur.
