BARBARA ANN DEVIVO, respondent, v. DENNIS JAMES DEVIVO, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order as failed to decide that branch of the defendant's cross motion which was for reimbursement of $16,000 is dismissed, as that branch of the cross motion remains pending and undecided ( see Katz v. Katz, 68 A.D.2d 536); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from and reviewed; and it is further,

ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the respondent.

The defendant's contention that the award of counsel fees was erroneous because it was based on inadmissible hearsay evidence is without merit. The parties waived their right to a hearing on the issue of counsel fees, consented to resolve the issue upon motion papers and submissions, and the plaintiff's attorneys carefully documented each of the charges listed in their respective affirmations of services rendered ( see Pinto v. Pinto, 260 A.D.2d 622; Robinson v. Robinson, 166 A.D.2d 428; cf. Covington v. Covington, 249 A.D.2d 735).

The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

McGINITY, J.P., LUCIANO, SCHMIDT and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
