Legal Question in Family Law in New York

adandonment of action

When there is a directive to ''settle judgment on notice'', must the prevailing party submit within 60 days for signature a proposed judgment, notice of settlement and notice of entry with proof of service upon all parties? And if there is no proof of service of the proposed judgment, notice of settlement or notice of entry (signaling that there was no service upon the other party) can the judgment be considered abandoned?

Re: adandonment of action

This is a complex issue of civil procedure.

Your analysis is correct, but only up to a point.

A court will re-issue the judgment on petition by a party for almost any reason, including ignorance of the court's procedures.

If the court deeemed the matter ended, that court will try to keep it closed.
