In view of the financial circumstances of the parties as documented before the court, disclosing, inter alia, that plaintiff has access to some $2 million from the sale of the former marital residence, the denial of plaintiffs motion for an award of interim counsel fees constituted a proper exercise of discretion (see, Mastrandrea v Mastrandrea, 268 AD2d 293 ).
