New York Court of Appeals

Robert Dravecka, Appellant v. Walter L. Richard, Respondent

April 16, 1935267 N.Y. 180

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the husband is not liable for additional attorney's fees because his liability for the wife's necessaries was fixed by the alimony order. The court relied on statutory authority and prior case law that limits a husband's support obligations to the amount ordered in the divorce proceeding.
