DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The determination of whether to relieve a party of an order entered upon his or her default is left to the sound discretion of the Family Court (see Matter of Samaria Ann B., 293 A.D.2d 532; Matter of Latisha I., 238 A.D.2d 340). A party seeking to vacate such an order must establish that there was a reasonable excuse for the default and a meritorious defense (see Matter of Ann D., 239 A.D.2d 575; Matter of Latisha I., supra; Matter of Naajila J., 235 A.D.2d 540). Since the father's conclusory, unsupported allegations failed to demonstrate either of these requisite elements, the Family Court providently exercised its discretion in refusing to vacate his default (see Matter of James Edward M. III, 250 A.D.2d 685).
The father's remaining contentions are without merit.
