Opinion
April 27, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Bucaria, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion, by deleting the provision thereof awarding $500 per week in maintenance until the plaintiff reaches the age of 62 and substituting therefor a provision awarding $500 per week in maintenance until the plaintiff reaches the age of 65; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the plaintiff's contentions, an award of lifetime maintenance is not appropriate under these circumstances ( see, Liadis v. Liadis, 207 A.D.2d 331; cf., Borra v. Borra, 218 A.D.2d 780). However, an award of maintenance until the age of 65 is appropriate.
The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
