A judge has reduced by more than one-third the direct spousal and child support sought by the wife of real estate investor Anthony Westreich, departing from the letter of Domestic Relations Law that the standard when setting temporary maintenance level should be keeping the economic status quo.

Nassau Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Goodstein determined that Dale and Anthony Westreich’s pre-separation lifestyle was so “lavish,” and concessions he ordered Anthony Westreich to make so extensive, that the judge could not justify meeting Dale Westreich’s $97,000-a-month request for direct spousal support.
