Counsel are directed to file all responsive papers with the Matrimonial Clerk's office two days before the return date of the motion. The Court must be notifed in advance of all consent adjournments. No adjournments will be accepted without prior notice. Counsel are reminded that the CPLR does not provide for sur-reply papers or allow the presentation of papers or letters to the court after argument of a motion. Sur-replies, letters and the responses to such letters addressed to the substance of motions will not be considered.
All exhibits are to be identified by tabs.
Pre-trial conferences will be scheduled for Thursdays. Counsel shall provide the Court with current net worth statements and statements of proposed disposition. Clients are expected to be present. Once a case has been assigned a trial date, it is presumed ready for trial. No consent adjournments will be accepted without consultation with the Court.
