Matrimonial (Divorces) The Matrimonial Term Clerk's Office This office receives and processes all applications for matrimonial (divorce) proceedings in Kings County. Requests for relief during the pendency of the divorce as well as post judgment applications (those requests made after the divorce is final), are filed with the matrimonial office. Once reviewed by the matrimonial office, the matter is calendared for a court appearance, or forwarded to the assigned justice for signature, depending on the relief requested. The matrimonial clerks are responsible for scheduling Preliminary Conferences, processing uncontested divorces and notifying parties when judgments are signed or rejected due to defects that must be corrected. Emergency applications are made in this office requiring immediate appearances before the court. All signed orders from the matrimonial judges are processed through the matrimonial clerk's office. The public service counter for both attorneys and self-represented litigants is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day the court is in session. To better assist you, we have created responses to our most Frequently Asked Matrimonial Questions (FAQ's) Check-lists, procedural rules, including the judges' motion days, and forms are distributed at the counter to ensure that papers are submitted in proper form.
