Opinion
December 17, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Elliott Wilk, J.).
The court did not abuse its discretion in awarding defendant temporary custody without an evidentiary hearing (see, Meltzer v Meltzer, 38 A.D.2d 522), and a temporary award of maintenance and child support should be modified only in the rare instance when the payor clearly cannot afford the payments ordered or justice otherwise requires (see, Goldberger v Goldberger, 159 A.D.2d 923; Merrick v Merrick, 172 A.D.2d 317, 318). Any claimed inequities in the award can best be resolved by a speedy trial (Chyrywaty v Chyrywaty, 102 A.D.2d 1009).
