The affidavit needs to include the name and addresses of all parties and attorneys.
We do not calculate interest on foreign judgments so if interest is warranted you will need to calculate the interest and also file an affirmation on how you came to the total. We are mandatory e-filing in Suffolk County so this needs to be uploaded in NYSCEF unless you are unrepresented, in which case, it may be filed in paper. Your first document uploaded is the affidavit and the document type is Foreign Judgment. Please make sure the total amount of judgment is listed in the affidavit. Document #2 will be an exemplified copy of the judgment from the state in which it was issued please use the document type as Exhibit. There is a $210.00 fee to file this foreign judgment.
In the case of a foreign divorce, you must use the case type, Special Proceedings – (Other) and indicate is a foreign divorce. Upload the certified copy of the divorce decree, and any necessary translation, as a Petition. Note in the Additional Information that this is a foreign divorce decree. The case type will be changed to Matrimonial when assigning the index number.
If you have any additional questions, please email the County Clerk at CAJudgments@suffolkcountyny.gov.
