Opinion
January 20, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kelly, J.).
Ordered that the order dated December 20, 1984, which granted the plaintiff wife's motion for an award of counsel fees, is reversed, and the order dated December 20, 1984, as amended by the order entered January 31, 1985, is reversed insofar as appealed from without costs or disbursements, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.
Special Term should have granted the defendant a hearing on the issue of vacatur of the alimony award since the requisite showing was made of a possible change in circumstances concerning the parties' financial situations (see, Levinson v. Levinson, 97 A.D.2d 458; see also, Dash v. Dash, 100 A.D.2d 530).
In addition, the plaintiff failed to comply with 22 N.Y.CRR former 699.11 (now 202.16) with respect to the official form required to be filed on an application for counsel fees (see, Steinman v. Steinman, 87 A.D.2d 649; Lewin v. Lewin, 91 A.D.2d 649). Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Niehoff, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
