Attorneys seeking pendente lite counsel fees in Part 18 of Nassau County's Matrimonial Center must orally argue their case, a New York judge has ruled, "to facilitate a prompt determination by the court." The judge said he modified the rules in recognition of a New York high court maxim "to make the more affluent spouse pay for the legal expenses of the needier one." The decision follows a ruling that good cause must be articulated in deferring a non-monied spouse's application for interim counsel fees.
