FAQ
Yes, complaints in a divorce action must be verified by affidavit. Depending on the jurisdiction, several conditions may apply for a validated complaint in a divorce proceeding.
Because these issues have been settled, there is no need to litigate them in court. As a result, typically the judge will simply sign off on the terms and issue a final decree of divorce.
The Verified Complaint is the document your spouse and your spouse's lawyer have written up to give to the court to explain why he or she should be given a divorce from you. In New York State, because of the way the laws are written, you must have “grounds” in order to get divorced.
Read the complaint and decide what to do. Read the complaint. You may agree with some, all, or none of the complaint. Write down next to each paragraph in the complaint whether you agree or disagree with what that paragraph says. If you agree with everything your spouse is asking for, you may not need to file anything.
Some uncontested divorces are resolved as quickly as six weeks, while others can take six months or more. Since New York does not have a waiting period, a divorce that both parties agree on takes roughly 3 months for the papers to be filed with the court.

Oftentimes a party responding to a divorce complaint with an answer will file a counterclaim as well. The counterclaim provides the responding party an opportunity to make their own allegations about the reason for the divorce and a chance to tell the court what they are asking for.
While the answer is simply admitting or denying information from the complaint, the counterclaim can be used to put forth alternative versions of the facts or a completely different reason for the divorce. The counterclaim functions just like a complaint, you do not need to prove anything in the counterclaim.
