New York Court of Appeals

Amy N. Holterman, Respondent v. Robert K. Holterman, Appellant

June 10, 20043 N.Y.3d 1

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Supreme Court’s judgment, holding that the award of a 35% marital share of the husband’s medical license was proper, that the distributive award cannot be deducted from the husband’s income for child‑support purposes under the CSSA, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in applying the statutory child‑support formula. A dissent argued the majority erred on these points.
