Opinion
Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and action restored to calendar for Supreme Court, Oneida County. Memorandum: Family Court has no jurisdiction to enforce a separation agreement as such (see Iseman v Iseman, 48 AD2d 809, app dsmd 37 NY2d 918; “Manheim” v “Manheim”, 200 Misc 802, 806; Besharov, Practice Commentary, McKinney’s Cons Laws of NY, Book 29A, 1976-1982, Supp Pamph, Family Ct Act, § 411, p 71).
