Ordered that the judgment is modified, as an exercise of discretion, by reducing the award of counsel fees that the defendant is directed to pay to the plaintiff's counsel from $17,500 to $7,500; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
As the defendant's skills, income and future earning capacity far exceed those of the plaintiff, who financially supported the marriage while the defendant learned his trade, and the parties thereafter enjoyed a relatively high standard of living, the trial court's award of maintenance to the plaintiff in the sum of $200 per week for a five-year period upon the termination of this 11-year marriage was proper (see, Foy v Foy, 121 A.D.2d 501).
However, we find the award of attorney's fees to be excessive to the extent indicated inasmuch as the action involved neither the division of significant assets nor the resolution of complex issues (see, Taylor v Taylor, 122 A.D.2d 134, 135). Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Brown and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
