Matter of Carmen v. Bruce R

In Matter of Carmen v. Bruce R. (115 Misc. 2d 377, 454 N.Y.S.2d 197 [1982]) the mother, a nurse, made $ 819 a month, and the father, an anesthesiologist, had made $ 163,000 in his first year of practice. For the purposes of a compromise agreement under Family Court Act 516, the parties had agreed to an amount of child support in the amount of $ 19,000. The court found that amount to be inadequate in view of the income of the father and refused to approve the compromise agreement.
