In the Matter of Vermont Department of Social Welfare on Behalf of Lynn L.T., Respondent, v Louis T.T. Sr., Also Known as Florio V, Appellant.
    [934 NYS2d 709]
   Respondent’s objection on the ground of improper service is barred by the doctrine of res judicata because he could have raised it in a prior proceeding (see Majid v Commissioner of Social Servs., 24 AD3d 251 [2005], lv denied 7 NY3d 703 [2006]). Moreover, the objection was barred by the doctrine of laches, as respondent waited over 24 years before raising it (see Steiner v Steiner, 204 AD2d 157 [1994]). Concur — Gonzalez, EJ., Mazzarelli, Andrias, Sweeny and Román, JJ.
