Serve the Defendant
Even in uncontested matters, formal service is required. Your spouse can waive further process by signing the Affidavit of Defendant.
Submit the Judgment Packet
File the Note of Issue, Request for Judicial Intervention if needed, and the final judgment forms. Include proof of service and any required support worksheets.
Receive the Signed Judgment
Once the judge signs, obtain certified copies. Update financial accounts, insurance policies, and identification documents to reflect the new status.
