Judgments take the form of money owed; other kinds of relief are heard elsewhere.

A filed case still has to reach the defendant. Formal notice, known as service of process, does that, and delivering it personally is generally not allowed. Courts in New York generally rely on personal delivery by an approved server, the sheriff or constable, delivery arranged by the court, email service where the court allows it or certified mail.
The options usually include a sheriff or constable, a licensed process server, certified mail sent by the clerk, or any adult with no stake in the case. What is allowed, and what it costs, differs from county to county.
Each court sets how far before the hearing the defendant must be served. The clerk confirms your deadline when the hearing date is set. Service 8 days before hearing. Court handles Proof of service since they do service.
