The court did not abuse its discretion in awarding defendant temporary custody without an evidentiary hearing (see, Meltzer v Meltzer, 38 A.D.2d 522), and a temporary award of maintenance and child support should be modified only in the rare instance when the payor clearly cannot afford the payments ordered or justice otherwise requires (see, Goldberger v Goldberger, 159 A.D.2d 923; Merrick v Merrick, 172 A.D.2d 317, 318). Any claimed inequities in the award can best be resolved by a speedy trial (Chyrywaty v Chyrywaty, 102 A.D.2d 1009).
