How to Use This Calculator
Step-by-step instructions for accurate deadline calculations
1

Enter Service or Filing Date

Input the date of service or court filing. New York CPLR Article 2 governs time computation, excluding the first day and including the last day.

Select Response Type

Choose your required filing: Answer (20-30 days), Motion to Dismiss (varies), or Motion Response (typically 7-17 days depending on motion type).

3

Determine Service Method

New York allows personal service, mail service with acknowledgment, or court-ordered alternative service. Each method has different timing implications.

4

Consider Court Type

Supreme Court, Civil Court, and Family Court may have different deadline requirements. Verify the specific court's local rules.

5

Account for Holidays

New York state holidays extend deadlines when they fall on the last day. Include both state and federal holidays in calculations.

6

Verify Local Court Rules

Each New York county and court may have additional requirements. Check local rules for electronic filing deadlines and specific procedures.
