Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The husband contends that the award to the wife of pendente lite maintenance in the amount of $75 per week and pendente lite child support in the amount of $175 per week is excessive since he is incarcerated and thus has insufficient income to meet those obligations. The husband's incarceration, however, is the result of a manslaughter conviction for having killed the wife's brother. Accordingly, the husband may not seek to evade his support obligations based on this self-imposed hardship (see, Matter of Knights v Knights, 71 N.Y.2d 865). Rather, his remedy for alleviating perceived inequities in the pendente lite support order is to expeditiously proceed to trial (see, Guiry v Guiry, 159 A.D.2d 556; Wesler v Wesler, 133 A.D.2d 627).
We have reviewed the husband's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Santucci, JJ., concur.
