Court Appearance
Not required
For uncontested divorces with both spouses agreeing, NY processes everything on submitted papers.
Local note for Manhattan filers: Manhattan Supreme Court has the longest processing times in NYC due to high caseload. Filing early in the week (Monday/Tuesday) often results in faster docketing. The court no longer accepts walk-in filings for most divorce documents - appointments or e-filing required.
