MARREN v. MARREN

The award of counsel fees was within the court's discretion (Domestic Relations Law § 237) where defendant had engaged in obstructionist tactics forcing plaintiff's counsel to withdraw. The fees in question were for services on the motion seeking postjudgment relief, and in a prior plenary action related to child support issues ( see O'Shea v. O'Shea, 93 NY2d 187; Avedon v. Avedon, 270 AD2d 65, lv dismissed 95 NY2d 902).
