Opinion
March 27, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme County, Putnam County (Braatz, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The court's maintenance award of $300 per week to the wife was proper in view of the statutory factors to be considered in awarding maintenance (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [6]; Sperling v. Sperling, 165 A.D.2d 338). It was also proper for the court to fix the duration of the award as the wife's lifetime. The record supported a finding that given the severity of the wife's psychological disorder, she was disabled and for the foreseeable future unable to be self-supporting (see, Jones v. Jones, 133 A.D.2d 217; Malamut v. Malamut, 133 A.D.2d 101; Antis v. Antis, 108 A.D.2d 889). The facts that the wife has no education beyond the ninth grade and has never worked outside of the home further support the trial court's conclusion (see, Pagano v Pagano, 202 A.D.2d 652). Sullivan, J.P., Copertino, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
