The parties were married in 1993 and have three children, born in 1994, 1996, and 1998, respectively.

The plaintiff commenced this action for a divorce and ancillary relief in March 2009, and the matter proceeded to a nonjury trial in June 2011.
Contrary to the defendant’s contentions, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in imputing to the plaintiff an annual income of only $125,000 for the purpose of calculating child support, given the plaintiffs current employment situation, his future earning capacity, and the evidence presented relating to additional streams of income (see Haagen-Islami v Islami, 96 AD3d 1004 [2012]). In addition, the court properly imputed an annual income of $65,000 to the defendant (see Domestic Relations Law § 240 [1-b] [b] [5] [iv] [D]).

We also reject the defendant’s contention that the amount and duration of the maintenance award was inadequate. “[T]he
