New York Petition is a legal process allowing individuals to file a petition in the New York Supreme Court. This petition can be used to seek relief from the court on matters such as landlord-tenant disputes, debt collection, contract disputes, divorces, child support, guardianship, and more. There are three types of petitions that can be filed in the New York Supreme Court: an Article 78, a Special Proceeding, and a Miscellaneous Proceeding. An Article 78 is a petition which seeks to challenge a decision made by a state or municipal agency, while a Special Proceeding is a petition which seeks to challenge a decision made by a private party. A Miscellaneous Proceeding is an action which seeks relief from the court for which there is no specific statutory law.
