Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York April 30, 1985 (Cappiello v. Cappiello)

The only issue before us concerns the propriety of the equitable distribution award in an action involving the breakup of a marriage which lasted only eight months and, as a practical matter, was all but ended after two months. At the time of the marriage on July 1,1979, plaintiff, age 42, was a successful freelance art director.
