A Notice of Appearance is a crucial document in a New York divorce, filed by the respondent or their attorney. It indicates intent to participate, preserves rights, and establishes jurisdiction. The document includes a caption, respondent's and attorney's names, and a statement of intent. To file, obtain the necessary forms, complete the form, sign and date it, file it with the court, and serve it on the other party. Failure to file can result in a default judgment and loss of rights. The New York State Unified Court System, New York City Bar Association, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and National Center for State Courts provide resources for filing.
