MENASHI v. MENASHI

ORDERED that the orders are affirmed insofar as appealed from, with one bill of costs.

The proper remedy for any perceived inequities in a pendente lite award is a speedy trial (see, Tillinger v. Tillinger, 141 A.D.2d 535, 536; see also, Frankenbach v. Frankenbach, 244 A.D.2d 524; Walker v. Walker, 193 A.D.2d 730). An appellate court will rarely modify such an award, "and then only under exigent circumstances such as where a party is unable to meet his or her financial obligations or justice otherwise requires" (Bagner v. Bagner, 207 A.D.2d 367, 368). The plaintiff failed to demonstrate that such circumstances exist. Accordingly, modification of the award is not warranted.

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.
