Divorce in New York

No-fault divorce was enacted in New York on August 15, 2010. Prior to this, divorce in the state could only be accomplished through fault-based grounds, such as cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment for a continuous time period of one year or more, adultery, imprisonment of one of the spouses for more than 3 years, or conversion of a separation agreement after living apart for one year or more. Even uncontested divorces had to be made on the basis of one of the fault-based grounds for divorce. With the passage of the no-fault divorce laws, married partners can now dissolve their marriages within 6 months after declaring that the marriage is irretrievably broken. This makes for a more streamlined legal process where spouses do not have to prove any wrongdoing to file for a divorce.

If you and your spouse can agree on such issues as child custody and visitation, spousal maintenance, and division of marital property, time-consuming and costly divorce litigation can be avoided. All of these divorce-related issues must be resolved, however, for a New York divorce to be finalized. At our firm, a Long Island divorce lawyer can guide you through the divorce process and help you resolve divorce-related issues with divorce mediation or, if necessary, by representing you in court.

If you have already been divorced and need legal assistance with matters involving child custody, child support, collection of child support and spousal maintenance, relocation of a custodial parent / children, enforcement or modification of court orders, our firm is experienced and skilled in handling these. We urge you to consult with a Long Island divorce attorney at the firm as soon as possible so that we can get started on resolving your divorce issues immediately.
