Question: Mr. and Mrs. Ehrens separated. According to their separation agreement, Mr. Ehrens was to pay his wife support payments of $600 per month. Mrs. Ehrens assigned the right to receive the money to Elkin. Mr. Ehrens stopped making the support payments, claiming that the right to receive the money could not be assigned. Elkin sued. Was Elkin legally entitled to the money? (Elkin v. Ehrens, 43 Misc. 2d 493, 251, N.Y.S.2d 560)
