In McSparron v. McSparron, 209 A.D.2d 835, the wife appeared at a press conference and accused her husband, a Deputy First Assistant Attorney General, of drug abuse and the filing of a false property transfer gains tax affidavit. As a result of the publicity, the husband was forced to resign. In denying the wife's claim for prospective maintenance in the divorce action, the Court held that the husband's loss if employment was involuntarily in that it was "engendered by the wife's own acrimonious and vindictive conduct." The Court noted that it had considered the wife's claim that the husband's "own felonious conduct "had led to his loss of employment, but that it had not been made aware of any criminal or disciplinary proceedings against the husband.
