A: E-courts is sometimes cryptic. Merely because it says there was an appearance doesn't mean there was one - it could be just a tickler in their system. That said, if the case is still uncontested, you need to file the judgment package along with the note of issue. Schedule a consult with a NYC Divorce Attorney for a full assessment.
