What appears to be continued acrimony between noted actress and screenwriter Anna Condo and the attorney special master handling her long-running post-divorce marital asset dispute took another turn Tuesday when a state appeals court affirmed the special master’s awarding of $1,050,250 in legal fees against Condo.

“Contrary to plaintiff’s [Anna Condo’s] contention,” the agreed-to special master, Susan Bender, a well-known, nearly 40-year veteran of New York matrimonial practice, “had the legal authority to award legal fees associated with defendant’s [former husband, George Condo’s] motion sequence numbers 9 through 13 and the defense against plaintiff’s appeals to this Court,” wrote the Appellate Division, First Department in an opinion.
