A Summons with Notice is a legal document used to initiate a divorce in New York. Unlike a full divorce complaint, it outlines the grounds for divorce and the relief sought without detailed explanations. The respondent has 20 days to respond if served in person within the state, or 30 days if served outside of New York or by other means. This streamlined approach allows the petitioner to start the process while preparing additional documentation. Proper legal guidance ensures compliance with New York's procedural requirements.
