The following excerpt is from Proceeding for Support Under Article 4 of Family Court Act, Matter of, 404 N.Y.S.2d 515, 94 Misc.2d 59 (N.Y. City Ct. 1978):
The respondent, having sought and having obtained the consent of the petitioner to a divorce in a jurisdiction selected by the respondent, will not be heard to repudiate the judgment which that court entered in his favor. He cannot seek to take advantage of the divorce and at the same time prevent the petitioner from pursuing her remedy of enforcement in our court. (Krause v. Krause, 282 N.Y. 355, 26 N.E.2d 290).
