A husband earning roughly 100 times more than his wife must pay her counsel $75,000 in interim fees, a Brooklyn appeals panel has ruled, reversing a Long Island judge who denied the wife's requested relief. Arguing that his wife had over-litigated the case, Robert Prichep denied allegations that he had engaged in any "obstructionist tactics." An attorney for the husband called the appeals court's decision "politically correct" but "surprising."

In Prichep v. Prichep, 28727/08, the Appellate Division, 2nd Department held that Supreme Court Justice Joseph C. Pastoressa of Suffolk County “articulated no reason” for denying pretrial motions by Patti Prichep seeking interim counsel fees from her husband, Robert.
