Gredel v. Gredel

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 30, 1987
128 A.D.2d 834 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

March 30, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Glass, J.).


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

The plaintiff sought to modify the divorce judgment to provide that she was entitled to sole ownership of the parties' Connecticut real property and a distributive award of the defendant's pension. The plaintiff, as the one seeking an interest in these assets, had the burden of establishing their value and her interest therein. However, we find that the plaintiff failed to present sufficient proof to the Referee at the inquest, to enable the court to make distributive awards with respect to these assets (see, Michalek v. Michalek, 114 A.D.2d 655).

Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion to modify the divorce judgment was properly denied. Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
