—[*1]
Kruman & Kruman, P.C., Malverne, N.Y. (Henry E. Kruman of counsel), for
respondent.
In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the defendant husband appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Gartenstein, J.H.O.), dated September 13, 2010, which granted the motion of the plaintiff wife for an award of an interim attorney's fee.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Under the circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in granting the motion of the plaintiff wife for an award of an interim attorney's fee (see Domestic Relations Law § 237 [a]; DeCabrera v Cabrera-Rosete, 70 NY2d 879 [1987]; Prichep v Prichep, 52 AD3d 61 [2008]).
The defendant husband's remaining contentions are without merit. Mastro, A.P.J., Balkin, Dickerson and Chambers, JJ., concur.
