In Adams v. Adams (129 A.D.2d 661), the Appellate Division, Second Department, overturned the trial court's direction that the parties pay plaintiff's mother the sum of $ 16,000 upon the sale of the marital residence to satisfy a loan she made to the parties for building an extension onto the marital residence. The Appellate Division stated (at 662): "The court is without the power to grant affirmative relief to a third party who has not subjected himself or herself to the jurisdiction of the court".
