The New York State Court system was forced to shut down on Friday, March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For approximately two months, all court proceedings were halted except for emergencies. During this period, the NYS courts prepared to move to a virtual setting, and to allow litigants and attorneys to attend court by Microsoft Teams, and to allow electronic submissions of filings. Currently, the courthouses still remain mostly closed to the public, but divorce cases, both old and new, are able to move forward.
