A Long Island builder has stiffed his ex-wife and their teen triplets on child support and alimony while shacking up with his new gal pal in a luxuﷺry farmhouse with ponies, The Post has learned.
Dominick Cusumano was ordered to pay almost $12,000 per month in child support and alimony,ꦅ but has been sending weekly checks of just $150 to furious ex-wife Maria Cusumano and their 15-year-old triplets, Suffolk County records show.
Maria, who also has an older son 🎶by Dominick, said they are living on food stamps and Medicaid.
“I’m living month to month on welfare, living in a rented house not knowing where my children and I will be next month and he’s living in the lap of l🎶uxury,” Maria, 48, said.
“He has a house, he has a farm, he ha𝕴s a business, he has ponies, and what do we have? One-hundred fifty dollars a week. It’s just not right.”
Dominick, 54, who co-owns DNA Cusumano Home Improvements and Design with girlfriend Adele Nuzzo, said that the house belongs to Nuzzo and that he contributed nothing to the purchase of the 1¹/₂ acres🅰 of land or the construction of the home in upscale Jamesport on the North ♚Fork of Long Island.
He aಌlso said he’s in the process of appealing the court-ordered support he owes his ex.
“I had a ho♊me-improvement company and she had me locked up and I lost everything,” Dominick said, referring to when he was imprisoned for nonpayment of support. “How could I pay $13,000 a month?”
Dominick’s lawy🦩er acknowledged his client owes the money, which, according to a 2012 Suffolk County Family Court document, totaled more than $257,000.
“He was ordered to paꦬy money that he can’t afford to,” said Anthony Cepetola, adding that he believes Maria makes $50,000 a year working off the books in a beauty salon even as she hounds his client for cash.
“He’s broke. She broke him.”
But Domini♑ck’s questionable behavior goes back years.
In 2010, a Long Island judge slammed him as “despicable . . . vi🐟ndictive, vengeful and hateful” after he told the IRS he owed $1.6 million in taxes and suggested the agency take the house his wife and kids were living in on the eve of his divor🎐ce trial.
