NEW YORK - DIVORCE LAW - MAINTENANCE AND CARRYING CHARGES

In June 2011, I made a motion for pendente lite relief in a matrimonial matter in Nassau County. The court awarded my client, the lower income earning spouse:

1. Temporary maintenance.

2. Child support

3. Higher income spouse to pay carrying charges on the marital residence.

4. Attorney fees and other expert fees.

But it may no longer be possible to get an award of temporary maintenance and carrying charges. The case is Khaira v Khaira from the First Department. The court held that carrying charges are part of the support award. The support award was vacated and the matter remanded back to the court below.
