Uncontested Divorce
We encourage amicable resolutions of divorce and family disputes where feasible. Married couples in New York may now obtain a divorce by swearing to the Court that the relationship between the couples has irretrievably broken down for a period of six months prior to the commencement of the divorce. This is commonly referred to as a “no fault” divorce.
Other grounds for divorce are:
- Abandonment (Actual & Constructive)
- Adultery
- Conversion of a separation judgment
- Conversion of a written and acknowledged separation agreement after living separate and apart for more than one year
- Cruel and inhuman treatment
- Imprisonment for more than three years subsequent to the marriage
We offer low cost fees for uncontested divorces. Our consultation fee is fully refundable if our office is retained to represent you.
