JUSTIFICATION: Electronic Verification System (E-Verify) is a federal program, created through the 1996 Immigration Reform and Control Act. E-Verify provides employers with the ability to check their employees' immigration status. Currently, New York State does not require employers to use E-verify.
New York state law requires that the defendant in a divorce action be personally served with the Summons with Notice or Summons and Verified Complaint.
CPLR 3020. Section 3020 - Verification (a) Generally. A verification is a statement under oath that the pleading is true to the knowledge of the deponent, except as to matters alleged on information and belief, and that as to those matters he believes it to be true.
Generally, if the complaint has been sworn to (verified), then the answer must be verified as well. See CPLR 3020. In any event, the answer must be signed by defendant's attorney or by defendant if self-represented.
Except when otherwise specifically provided by rule or statute, pleadings need not be verified or accompanied by affidavit. An unsigned paper shall be stricken unless omission of the signature is corrected promptly after being called to the attention of the attorney or party.
If you create your own form for the answer, it must be either typed or neatly handwritten. Also, your written answer must be “verified,” which means you are saying everything in the answer is true. In order to verify the answer, you must sign it in front of a notary public or the court clerk.
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.
You can either answer the summons in writing or in person. If you answer in person, you must go to the courthouse clerk's office and tell the clerk about your defenses to the plaintiff's claims. The clerk will check off the boxes in a Consumer Credit Transaction Answer In Person form.
If you were served with a Summons With Notice, then you must file a written response called a “Notice of Appearance and Demand for Complaint.” Essentially, you are telling your spouse's lawyer that you will want to request your own relief in this divorce action and that you want to see the Verified Complaint.
Your answer should include the court name, case name, case number, and your affirmative defenses. Print three copies of your answer. File one with the clerk's office and mail (or “serve”) one to the plaintiff or plaintiff's attorney. The plaintiff is the debt collector, creditor, or law firm suing you.
