Description

[64 N.Y.2d 339 Page 342] Opinion OF THE COURT Plaintiff Edward Brady has brought this matrimonial action against his wife, defendant Dorothy Brady, seeking a divorce and sale of the marital residence. The complaint alleged, as grounds for obtaining a divorce, that Mrs. Brady committed acts constituting cruel and inhuman treatment and constructively abandoned plaintiff by refusing to engage in sexual relations with him (see, Domestic Relations Law Â§ 170). The question presented is what conduct constitutes cruel and inhuman treatment in a long-term marriage so as to give rise to a cause of action for divorce. More specifically, we must determine whether the principles set forth in Hessen v Hessen (33 N.Y.2d 406), with respect to the necessary showing of cruel and inhuman treatment in a long-term marriage, are still to be followed.
