IN THE MATTER OF OLIPHANT v. OLIPHANT

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

A party attempting to vacate a default judgment must establish both a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense ( see Zherka v. Zherka, 17 AD3d 668; Rolston v. Rolston, 261 AD2d 377). The father failed to satisfy that standard in this case.
