Silver v. Akerson

223 A.D.2d 499 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

January 30, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Lewis Friedman, J.).


The trial court properly applied the statutory guidelines contained in Domestic Relations Law § 240 (1-b) when it calculated plaintiff's basic child support obligations and was warranted in refusing to recognize any expenses incurred by him as a result of visitation by the children. The court also properly found that the two condominium apartments purchased by the parties during their marriage were not, for the most part, plaintiff's separate property since he did not rebut the presumption that assets acquired during the marriage are marital property ( see, Pullman v Pullman, 176 A.D.2d 113). The record supports the court's decision to credit the testimony of defendant's expert witness over that of plaintiff's expert witness in determining the parties' enhanced earning capacities due to their respective educational pursuits in the course of the marriage.

We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Wallach, Nardelli, Williams and Tom, JJ.
