Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 15, 2009
65 A.D.3d 1148 (N.Y. App. Div. 2009)

Opinion

Nos. 2008-07435, (Docket No. F-3359-07).

September 15, 2009.

In a support proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 4, the mother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Suffolk COUNTY (Budd, J.), entered July 11, 2008, which denied her objections to an order of the same court (Fields, S.M.), dated May 1, 2008, denying her motion for an award of an attorney's fee.

Raoul Felder and Partners, P.C., New York, N.Y. (Robert Hiltzik and Myrna Felder of counsel), for appellant.

Brett Kimmel, P.C., New York, N.Y., for respondent.

Before: Mastro, J.P., Santucci, Eng and Lott, JJ., concur.


Ordered that the order entered July 11, 2008, is affirmed, with costs.

Under the circumstances of this case, it was not an improvident exercise OF the Family Court's discretion to deny the mother's motion for an award of an attorney's fee ( see DeCabrera v Cabrera-Rosete, 70 NY2d 879; Sevdinoglou v Sevdinoglou, 40 AD3d 959; Sampson v Glazer, 109 AD2d 83 1). Thus, her objections to the order dated May 1, 2008, were properly denied.
