In order to respond to a motion or an order to show cause, you must prepare answering papers. If you disagree with what is being asked for in the motion or order to show cause, you must prepare an affidavit in opposition (see Exhibit A).
It is mandatory that a Show Cause Notice (SCN) is issued if the department contemplates any action prejudicial to the assessee. The SCN would detail the provisions of law allegedly violated and ask the noticee to show cause why action should not be initiated against him under the relevant provisions of the Act/Rules.
An order to show cause (OSC) is a request to the court for a new hearing. It can ask for more time or stop the marshal from evicting you. If you do not have a lawyer, you will have to fill out the OSC yourself.
Order to Show Cause forms are available at the courthouse, and a judge can set the terms, such as when it will be heard in court, how it will be served on the other side and any conditions or requirements in order to obtain a stay of enforcement of an order or judgment pending the hearing.
Some uncontested divorces are resolved as quickly as six weeks, while others can take six months or more. Since New York does not have a waiting period, a divorce that both parties agree on takes roughly 3 months for the papers to be filed with the court.
In Bronx County, NY, the Supreme Court (not the Family Court) is the relevant court to handle divorce cases. The Supreme Court judge is the only one who can grant a divorce. The petitioner (the filing party) has to contact the Supreme Court in the county where either party currently resides.
As long as you have a complete separation agreement (more on that below), the quickest way to get an uncontested divorce in New York is to state on your paperwork (under oath) that your marriage has been broken "irretrievably" for six months.
