                  enforce.                                                                                

                  On April 1, 1985, a final Judgment of Divorce [the Judgment]                            
            was issued by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County                              
            of Chautauqua.  The Judgment recited that James had withdrawn his                             
            Notice of Appearance and permitted the action to proceed to                                   
            divorce by default.  The Judgment also directed that the oral                                 
            stipulation given in open court on December 11, 1984, be merged                               
            in to and made a part of the final Judgment.  The relevant                                    
            language of the final Judgment ordered the following:                                         
                        ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, that * * *                                         
                  [Virginia] shall have custody of the infant child of                                    
                  the marriage, viz., RENAE [sic] * * *                                                   
                        ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, that * * * [James]                                 
                  shall pay to * * * [Virginia], as unallocated family                                    
                  support, the sum of $200.00 per week, for so long as                                    
                  the car payments are presently outstanding on * * *                                     
                  [Virginia's] 1980 LeBaron automobile.                                                   
                        That upon the payment of the loan on the LeBaron,                                 
                  the unallocated family support shall decrease to the                                    
                  amount of $140.00 per week, for so long as Grove * * *                                  
                  shall live with * * * [Virginia] * * * .                                                

                  Subsequent to the issuance of the Judgment, James petitioned                            
            the Chautauqua County Family Court (Family Court) to modify the                               
            previous support order contained in the Judgment.  On December
