Organizing Evidence for New York Family Courts
Filing Rules Overview
New York family courts operate under the Family Court Act and Uniform Rules for Trial Courts. Electronic filing (NYSCEF) is used in many counties. Courts require specific forms and procedures for different case types. Evidence must be properly marked and authenticated.

Exhibits must be clearly labeled and numbered. Documents should use standard formatting with legible fonts (12-point minimum). Margins should be at least 1 inch. Multi-page exhibits require consecutive page numbering. Electronic filings must meet NYSCEF technical requirements including PDF format and file size limits.
