Spousal Support is Fair Game in Determining a Party’s Financial Ability to Pay Sanctions

From the desk of Daniel R. Gold, Esq. TLD Partner

In re Marriage of Pearson

FC §271 does not preclude the payment of sanctions from spousal support so long as the reduction does not create an unreasonable financial burden.

Additional fees properly denied based on W’s unnecessary and overly litigious conduct, even where some claims were meritorious.

Sanctions payable from s/s bonus suggests a reduction in those variable payments would not impose an unreasonable financial burden.
