Bishop v. Bishop
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Decided December 24, 1914No. 6666PublishedCited by 4 opinions
Appeal from Special Term, New York County. Action by Abigail H. Bishop against James C. Bishop for divorce. From an order granting counsel fees' to plaintiff, defendant appeals. Reversed.
1Per curiam
The court had no power to grant counsel fee after a final judgment dissolving the marriage. See Lake v. Lake, 194 N. Y. 179, 87 N. E. 87.
It follows that so much of the order as is appealed from should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
