Opinion
July 6, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Corrado, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
In light of the liberal policy with regard to vacating default judgments in matrimonial actions (Lucas v. Lucas, 109 A.D.2d 781; Antonovich v. Antonovich, 84 A.D.2d 799), we find that the defendant wife provided a reasonable excuse and an adequate showing of a meritorious defense (see, CPLR 5015 [a] [1]; Shaw v. Shaw, 97 A.D.2d 403; see also, Olivetti Leasing Corp. v. MarMac Precision Corp., 117 Misc.2d 865). Under the circumstances of this case, the Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion in vacating the default judgment entered against her. Mangano, J.P., Niehoff, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
