CRAIG v. KLEIN

Less than half of defendant's claimed monthly living expenses — for food, utilities, entertainment and miscellaneous — were allowed as reasonable and necessary (CPLR 5226), and the court providently exercised its discretion in crediting the wife's justification for a Manhattan rental. This determination was amply supported in the record.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
