DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order dated January 6, 2003, is affirmed; and it is further,
ORDERED that the order entered February 14, 2003, is affirmed insofar as appealed from; and it is further,
ORDERED that one bill of costs is awarded to the plaintiff wife.
Contrary to the husband's contention, the allegations contained in the complaint were sufficient to state a cause of action for divorce based on cruel and inhuman treatment ( see Wanser v. Wanser, 214 A.D.2d 611, 612; Hirschhorn v. Hirschhorn, 194 A.D.2d 768; Horvath v. Horvath, 177 A.D.2d 617, 618). Furthermore, the allegations sufficiently apprised the husband of the accusations against him so as to enable him to prepare a defense ( see Pfeil v. Pfeil, 100 A.D.2d 725; Kapchan v. Kapchan, 104 A.D.2d 358, 359; McKilligan v. McKilligan, 156 A.D.2d 904, 907).
Moreover, under the facts of this case, the Supreme Court properly issued an order of protection ( see Family Ct Act § 812; Matter of Amy Cohen L. v. Howard N.L., 222 A.D.2d 677).
The husband's remaining contentions are without merit.
