The New York Supreme Court is the highest court in the state, responsible for handling divorce cases. To begin the process, one spouse must file a divorce petition, which includes grounds for divorce, marital history, and relief sought. The respondent has 20-30 days to respond, and pre-trial proceedings may include discovery, mediation, and settlement negotiations. If a settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial. The New York Supreme Court Divorce issues a decision, and if unhappy, the parties may appeal. Filing fees vary depending on the county and type of divorce.
