Is there a way of knowing if your spouse filed for divorce? 38 Answers as of February 08, 2012

All cases that have been filed in New York State courts can be found on the e-courts system which can be found at: www.courts.state.*ny*.us/*ecourts*/ . On this website you can search by party name to see if that party has requested judicial intervention granting a divorce. However, even if an index number has been purchased only those cases for which a Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI) has been filed are available online. Therefore, you will not be able to find out if your spouse has filed for divorce if all they have done is file a Summons with Notice or Summons with Verified Complaint. One important note to keep in mind: all Summons with Notice or Summons with Verified Complaints in Divorce Proceedings must be personally served upon the other spouse, and must be served within 120 days of filing the Summons with Notice or Summons with Verified Complaint. Therefore, before any divorce filing can proceed, you must be given all the papers.

The simple answer is to contact the clerk of the court. The hard part is identifying what court or courts to contact. The starting point would be the court in the county where you live and, if different, the county where your spouse lives. But, without more information it may difficult to guess where the spouse could have filed something. Generally, however, you should find out when you are actually served papers. If you are never served any papers (i.e. a Summons), that will either be because nothing has been filed or because you spouse has lied to the court about where you are.
