In what seems to be an emerging trend in New York courts, a judge has awarded interim counsel fees to a non-moneyed spouse, to be paid by her income-earning husband. Laurence Gordon, who works in real estate, was ordered to pay $150,500 in interim counsel and expert fees to his wife, Lisa Gordon, an unemployed speech therapist. The decision is the second to follow a state appeals court ruling that ordered a surgeon who earned roughly 400 times more than his wife to pay $75,000 in interim counsel fees.
