Sergent v. Sergent
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment unanimously affirmed with costs.

The court properly directed defendant to continue providing plaintiff with health insurance coverage (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [8]) and to pay a portion of plaintiff’s counsel and expert fees (see, McNenney v McNenney, 159 AD2d 440; Scalchunes v Scalchunes, 134 AD2d 337, lv
