MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the defendant husband appeals, as limited by his brief, from stated portions of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Sacks, J.H.O.), dated January 6, 1989, as allegedly failed to accurately incorporate the provisions of a stipulation of settlement entered on the record in open court on May 11, 1988.
ORDERED that the appellant is awarded one bill of costs.
The preferred remedy when a party alleges that a judgment does not accurately incorporate the terms of a stipulation is by motion in the trial court for resettlement (CPLR 5019[a]; Herpe v. Herpe, 225 N.Y. 323, 327, 122 N.E. 204) or vacatur (CPLR 5015) of the judgment, rather than by appeal (see, Leonard v. Columbia Steam Nav. Co., 84 N.Y. 48, 55-56; Stormville Mountain Homes v. Zurhorst, 35 A.D.2d 562, 313 N.Y.S.2d 178; cf. Hanlon v. Thonsen, 146 A.D.2d 743, 537 N.Y.S.2d 227; Blaustein v. Blaustein, 145 A.D.2d 591, 536 N.Y.S.2d 468; Spinello v. Spinello, 129 A.D.2d 694, 514 N.Y.S.2d 456). However, we have examined the stipulation and judgment and find that in certain respects the latter does not conform to the former. We vacate the provisions of the judgment which, as the parties allege, vary from the stipulation of settlement, and remit the matter to the Supreme Court to make the judgment conform to the stipulation. With regard to subdivision (g) of the third decretal paragraph regarding the defendant's visitation with the parties'...
