—[*1] Raoul Felder and Partners, P.C., New York City (Barry Abbott of counsel), forrespondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura Vistacion-Lewis, J.), entered August17, 2006, which awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $50,000 in interim counsel fees,unanimously affirmed, with costs.
The determination of an application for interim attorney fees in a divorce action is committedto the sound discretion of the trial court (Matter of Aronesty v Aronesty, 202 AD2d 240[1994]). The court providently exercised its discretion in rendering this award, whichappropriately redresses the parties' economic disparity, and which is subject to reexamination attrial (see Jorgensen v Jorgensen, 86 AD2d 861 [1982]). We have considered theremainder of defendant's argument and find it unavailing. Concur—Marlow, J.P., Nardelli,Williams and McGuire, JJ.
