Bayne v. Bayne

259 A.D. 1041, 21 N.Y.S.2d 41, 1940 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7896

Opinion

Order, made on reargument, denying defendant’s motion to modify the judgment of divorce and to provide for a reduction of alimony, reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, and the motion granted to the extent of providing that the allowance to the respondent be reduced from $12,000 to $11,000 per year, and the allowance for the daughter of the parties be reduced from $6,000 to $5,000 per year, both payable in equal monthly installments. There has been a substantial reduction in the appellant’s income since the time of the award fixed by the decree of divorce. This circumstance, together with the rise in income taxes, requires a readjustment of the awards. Lazansky,- P. J., Hagarty, Johnston, Adel and Close, JJ., concur. Settle order on notice.
