Divorce Forms in NY Uncontested Divorce

[div0rz]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
New York

I used the DIY Divorce program for uncontested divorces in NY. It created the printouts and lists that I have to file a Summons with Notice with the county clerk. It also lists a Verified Complaint and tells me to notarize it, but doesn't tell me what to do with it.

My question is what is this Verified Complaint for and what do I do with it? Notarize? File it with the County Clerk along with all the other papers?

Thank you.

Divorces? You've done this before?

The complaint is the document that begins the divorce action, in the same manner that a criminal complaint begins a criminal action against a defendant.

Yes, it gets notarized and submitted to the court.

If you don't know what you're doing I suggest an attorney - many I know of charge a reasonable flat fee for an uncontested that includes filling out and filing all paperwork.

No, that was a misunderstanding. Have not divorced before.

Thanks for the reply.
