Description
[52 A.D.2d 800 Page 800] Order, Supreme Court, New York County, entered January 8, 1976, denying motion to relieve defendant husband from default in answering the complaint, is unanimously affirmed, without prejudice however to the right of defendant husband to renew his motion below to open the default and to serve an answer on a factual showing of a meritorious defense to the action. Respondent shall recover of appellant $40 costs and disbursements of this appeal. While no adequate excuse has been shown by the defendant husband for his default, this is a matrimonial action involving the likelihood of a final determination of the matrimonial status of the parties on default. The fact that defendant has not sufficiently established an adequate excuse for [his] default does not mandate denial of [his] motion. 'It has repeatedly been held that the general rule in respect to opening defaults in ordinary actions is not to be applied so rigorously in a matrimonial action' (Vanderhorst v Vanderhorst, 282 App Div 312, 314.). (Revson v Revson, 33 A.D.2d 738.) [52 A.D.2d 800 Page 801]
