Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts' alimony decisions in three childless marriage cases, holding that a prior separation decree's alimony provision is not binding in a subsequent divorce action and that courts may consider alimony de novo, applying the statutory factors under §236, and that the trial courts did not abuse their discretion in denying or granting alimony.
