July 10, 199076 N.Y.2d 387
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the "living together" requirement of Domestic Relations Law § 111(1)(e) is unconstitutional because it does not substantially further a State interest, and therefore reversed the Appellate Division’s order in the Raquel Marie case while affirming the Appellate Division’s order in the Baby Girl S. case.
