Simpson Thacher Wins Appeal on Behalf of Mother of Two in a Child Support Matter

02.25.16
On February 23, Simpson Thacher won a pro bono appeal in a child support matter on behalf of a mother of two. The Queens County Family Court had vacated the mother’s award of child support, including nearly $20,000 in arrears, on the basis of objections by the children’s father. A panel of the Second Department of the Appellate Division unanimously held that the Family Court erred in granting the father’s objections, reinstating the mother’s petition. The Simpson Thacher team included Mary Kay Vyskocil and R. David Gallo.
