Scihonor Bey v. Allah Bey (2011)

MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

The parties intermarried in New York City (Bronx) on 7/30/03.   The wife's birth name was Elise Cruz. There are two minor children issue of the marriage, El Adon S. Bey, born 1/15/2000 and SciDey D.A.Bey, born May 29, 2001.   The court has the requisite jurisdiction and neither of the parties is or has been the recipient of state assistance.

The marriage has broken down irretrievably.

The wife is 32 and the husband is 36.   It is a relatively short marriage.   Since the assets are very limited it would serve no purpose to explain the cause for the breakdown of the marriage.
