Although she was aware of the allegations forming the basis of her fraud claim since at least 1992, she did not commence this action to set aside the stipulation until 1996, after her application to modify the stipulation was denied. Under those circumstances, the court properly held that plaintiff had ratified the agreement ( see, McKeown v. McKeown, 237 A.D.2d 890; Reader v. Reader, 236 A.D.2d 829; Gloor v. Gloor, 190 A.D.2d 1007). Present — Denman, P. J., Pine, Pigott, Jr., Callahan and Boehm, JJ.
