FAQ
A complaint where the plaintiff (or, in limited cases, the plaintiff's counsel) swears to the allegations, demonstrating to a court that the plaintiff has investigated the charges against the defendant and found them to be of substance.
Typically, a plaintiff verifies a complaint by attaching a page at the end containing a statement made under oath that: The plaintiff has reviewed the complaint. The plaintiff knows or believes that all allegations that the plaintiff has personal knowledge of to be true.
(c) The requirement that a document be verified means that the document must be signed or executed by a person and that the person must state under oath or affirm that the facts or matters stated or recited in the document are true, or words of that import or effect.
You need to answer each paragraph in the Complaint. Use the Line next to "comments" under each paragraph for additional information you want the Judge to know. The Answer is your side of the story, in response to what the Petitioner or Plaintiff has said in each paragraph of the Complaint or Petition.
Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit.
If you file a complaint without any legal or factual support or for some improper purpose, the court can “sanction” you.
If it is verified, the plaintiff makes assertions under the pains and penalties of perjury. A verified complaint also forces the defendant to respond to the lawsuit with a verified answer. This tactic forces the defendant to immediately make statements about the allegations under oath.
In certain circumstances, the complaint must be verified, which means signed in a certain format under oath, before a notary. CPLR 3020.
If the answer is not verified, the allegations of the complaint are deemed admitted and the plaintiff can move for judgment on the pleadings or move to strike the answer and take judgment by default.
