Applications for the award of fees and expenses may be  made   at any time or times prior to final judgment. Both parties to the action   or   proceeding  and  their  representative  attorneys,  shall  file  an   affidavit with the court detailing the financial agreement  between  the   party  and  the attorney. Such affidavit shall include the amount of any   retainer, the amounts paid and still owing thereunder, the hourly amount   charged by the attorney, the amounts paid, or to be paid,  any  experts,   and  any  additional  costs,  disbursements  or expenses. Payment of any   retainer fees to the  attorney  for  the  petitioning  party  shall  not   preclude  any  awards  of  fees and expenses to an applicant which would   otherwise be allowed under this section.

In no event shall a   spouse who has been imprisoned for contempt of court for failure to  pay   alimony,  maintenance or counsel fees or by virtue of an order of arrest   as a provisional remedy under the civil practice law and rules be stayed   from proceeding with the prosecution or defense of an action  where  the   only  default  is the failure of such spouse to pay alimony, maintenance   or counsel fees.

When the court makes an order of   support pursuant to section two hundred forty of this article, and where   permitted under federal law and where  the  record  of  the  proceedings   contains  such  information, the court shall require the social security   number of such parent to be affixed to such  order;  provided,  however,   that  no  such  order  shall  be invalid because of the omission of such   number. Where the record of the proceedings contains  such  information,   such  order  shall  also include on its face the name and address of the   employer, if any,  of  the  person  chargeable  with  support  provided,   however,  that  failure  to  comply  with  this  requirement  shall  not   invalidate such order.

§   240-d.   Support   orders   for   certain   adult  dependents.  1.   Notwithstanding  any  other  law,  a  person  who  would  otherwise   be   chargeable  under  law  with support of a minor child is also chargeable   with the support of any such individual until  such  individual  reaches   the  age  of twenty-six, when it shall appear to the satisfaction of the   court  that  the  person  is  developmentally  disabled  as  defined  in   subdivision  twenty-two  of  section  1.03  of  the  mental hygiene law,   resides with  the  person  seeking  such  support,  and  is  principally   dependent  on  such person for maintenance. A finding of a developmental   disability shall be supported by a diagnosis and accompanying report  of   a  physician,  licensed  psychologist,  registered  professional  nurse,   licensed clinical social worker or a licensed master social worker under   the supervision of a physician, psychologist or licensed clinical social   worker authorized to practice under title eight of  the  education  law,   and acting within their lawful scope of practice.2.  Upon  petition  brought  by  such person, the court shall make its   award for support for such individual with a developmental disability in   accordance with the provisions  of  subdivision  one-b  of  section  two   hundred  forty  of  this  article.  In  addition  to  the  provisions of   subdivision one-b of section two hundred  forty  of  this  article,  the   court  may  consider  whether the financial responsibility of caring for   the  individual  has  been  unreasonably  placed  on  one  parent   when   determining  the  support obligation. The duration of time the court may   use when considering this factor shall be limited  to  the  time  period   from  when  the  child  turned  twenty-one  until  the  individual turns   twenty-six. If a child support order ended at the age of  eighteen  then   such  time period shall be from when the child turned eighteen until the   individual turns twenty-six.3. The court has jurisdiction  to  determine  proceedings  brought  by   petition  and  order  to show cause, for the determination of support of   such adult dependents, as  well  as  to  enforce  or  modify  orders  or   judgments.4.  The  court  shall have discretion to order the payor party to make   support payments either to the  petitioner  or  to  the  trustee  of  an   "exception trust" as defined in 42 U.S.C. 1396p(d)(4)(A) and (C), clause   (iii) of subparagraph two of paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section   three  hundred  sixty-six of the social services law, and section 7-1.12   of the estates, powers and trusts law if such direction would assist  in   maximizing assistance to the child.5. Except where inconsistent with this section, all provisions of this   article relating to orders of child support shall apply to all orders of   support for adults with developmental disabilities.

Nothing in this section shall constitute a defense in any   court to an application to enforce payment of child support  or  grounds   for the cancellation of arrears for child support.

§  243.  Security  for  payments  by  defendant in action for divorce,   separation or annulment; sequestration. Where a judgment rendered or  an   order  made  in  an  action  in  this  state  for divorce, separation or   annulment, or for a declaration of nullity of  a  void  marriage,  or  a   judgment  rendered  in another state for divorce upon any of the grounds   provided in  section  one  hundred  seventy  of  this  chapter,  or  for   separation  or  separate  support  and maintenance for any of the causes   specified in section two hundred, or  for  relief,  however  designated,   granted  upon grounds which in this state would be grounds for annulment   of marriage or for a declaration of nullity of  a  void  marriage,  upon   which  an  action  has  been brought in this state and judgment rendered   therein, requires a spouse to provide for the education  or  maintenance   of  any  of the children of a marriage, or for the support of his or her   spouse, the court, in its discretion, also may direct  the  spouse  from   whom  maintenance  or  support is sought to give reasonable security, in   such a manner and within such a  time  as  it  thinks  proper,  for  the   payment,  from  time  to  time,  of  the sums of money required for that   purpose. If he or she fails to give the security, or to make any payment   required by the terms of such  a  judgment  or  order,  whether  or  not   security  has  been  given  therefor, or to pay any sum of money for the   support and maintenance of the children or the support  and  maintenance   of the spouse during the pendency of the action, or for counsel fees and   expenses  which he or she is required to pay by a judgment or order, the   court may cause his or her personal property and the rents  and  profits   of  his  or  her  real  property  to  be  sequestered, and may appoint a   receiver  thereof.  The  rents  and  profits  and  other   property   so   sequestered  may  be  applied, from time to time, under the direction of   the court, to the payment of any of the sums of money specified in  this   section,  as  justice requires; and if the same shall be insufficient to   pay the sums of  money  required,  the  court,  on  application  of  the   receiver,  may  direct the mortgage or sale of such real property by the   receiver,  under  such  terms  and  conditions  as  it  may   prescribe,   sufficient to pay such sums.
