In Greenspan v. Greenspan , Richard agreed to be responsible for one-half of his kids' schooling expenses -- including tuition, room and board, books and uniforms. He also agreed to allow his ex, Michele, to have direct communication with their children's health-insurance provider and his life-insurance carrier.
Six and a half years after their divorce, when Michele asked the Nassau County Supreme Court to compel her former husband's compliance with the agreement, Richard was ordered to reimburse Michele for the sums sought and found Richard in civil contempt for his refusal to supply the insurance related authorizations.
On appeal, the Appellate Division, Second Department, ended up fully supporting that.
