Affidavit In Support Of Order To Show Cause To Vacate Default Judgment

AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO VACATE A MATRIMONIAL DEFAULT JUDGMENT. This form is used in the Supreme Court of New York by a defendant in a divorce action who seeks to have a default judgment vacated. A default judgment occurs when one party in a divorce case does not respond to court filings, leading the court to issue a judgment without their participation. In this affidavit, the defendant explains why they failed to appear or respond in the divorce action and outlines valid reasons for vacating the judgment. The affidavit includes specific details such as the number of children, reasons for the default, and any defenses or claims the defendant wishes to present. It also includes requests for the division of marital assets, maintenance (spousal support), or corrections related to child custody, visitation, and child support if applicable. The form serves as a formal request for the court to allow the defendant to contest the divorce or its terms after a default judgment has been entered. www.FormsWorkflow.com
