Bischoff v. Gailey

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 16, 1998
256 A.D.2d 432 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

December 16, 1998

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (McNulty, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Subsequent to the judgment of divorce, the plaintiff mother served an income execution upon the defendant father pursuant to CPLR 5241 for his alleged default in paying child support. The father thereafter applied, in effect, to vacate the income execution on the ground of mistake of fact ( see, CPLR 5241 [a] [8]; [e]). The father failed to come forward with evidence that the parties' daughter had become emancipated or that a grant which she was receiving from the Federal government was intended to reduce the amount, of his court-ordered child support obligation ( see, Blackman v. Blackman, 131 A.D.2d 801). Therefore, the Supreme Court properly denied the father's application.

Rosenblatt, J. P., O'Brien, Sullivan, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
