John F. Hackett v. Joanne Hackett

[147 A.D.2d 611 Page 612] In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief in which the parties were divorced by a judgment dated September 18, 1986,
the defendant wife appeals (1) as limited by her brief, from so much of a resettled judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau
County (Postel, J.H.O.), dated July 8, 1987 as, inter alia, (a) distributed the marital property between the parties, (b)
awarded her maintenance in the sum of $150 per week for a period of 10 years, and (c) denied her application for counsel fees,
and (2) from an order of the same court (Robbins, J.), entered February 8, 1988, which, after a hearing, found that certain
corporate stock owned by the plaintiff husband was not marital property subject to equitable distribution. The plaintiff husband
cross-appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of the resettled judgment dated July 8, 1987 as, inter alia, (a) awarded
the wife a 50% share of the parties' 1985 income tax refunds, (b) directed him to pay the carrying charges on the marital
residence pending its sale, and (c) directed the payment of maintenance to the defendant wife.
