Statute of limitations - NY

What is the name of your state? NY

What are the statute of limitations to bring a motion to vacate a divorce by default judgment or at least to vacate a portion of the judgment pertaining to alimony?

Thanks!

I'm not at all sure (and I'm not in NY), and don't have time to read this whole thing, but try here:
http://www.nycourts.gov/litigants/divorce/ud_instructions.shtml

And there are more answers on that site. Let us know if you can't find anything. But do try yourself.

The GENERAL answer is that the party who did not like the judgment in the lawsuit should appeal it.

I am curious as to how this is a default.

Do you mean you were served and just didn't show up?

I suppose you could file a motion to vacate a judgment in any lawsuit at any time.

What your chances of winning would be is something no one knows.
