ROSEANNE SANCHEZ, Respondent, v. JESSE SANCHEZ, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in awarding the plaintiff wife pendente lite maintenance of $200 per week. The Supreme Court duly considered the plaintiff's needs as well as the defendant's financial ability to provide for those needs (see, Chachkes v. Chachkes, 107 A.D.2d 786; see also, Frankel v Frankel, 150 A.D.2d 520). Therefore, the award of $52,580, in arrears of pendente lite maintenance was proper. Nor did the court err in determining the final award of maintenance in the amount of $150 per week and counsel fees of $10,000 (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [6]; Jones v. Jones, 133 A.D.2d 217).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, P.J., Rubin, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
