Description
Memorandum: This appeal, on an agreed statement of facts, is limited to the claim of the husband that the trial court erred in granting to the wife occupancy of the jointly owned home and in the allowances made to the wife for her support and to her attorney for his fees. The judgment required the husband to pay $35 per week plus one half the net carrying costs of the jointly owned home and allowed her attorney an additional counsel fee of $500, making his total compensation $750. It is stipulated that the husband's take-home pay is $86.50 per week. In the light of the financial condition of the husband, as set forth in the record before us, he should not be required to pay the wife more than $43.25 per week in full payment of his support obligation. The wife was properly permitted to occupy the jointly owned home (Watkins v. Watkins, 19 A.D.2d 872). The additional allowance to the wife's attorney should be reduced by $250 so that the total payment for all of his services will be $500. The judgment should be modified by striking therefrom the paragraph ordering the husband to pay one half the net carrying costs of the home, by increasing the weekly allowance to the wife from $35 to $43.25, by reducing the additional allowance to her attorney from $500 to $250, and in all other respects the judgment is affirmed. Disposition Judgment insofar as appealed from unanimously modified in accordance with the Memorandum and as modified affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party.
