Understanding Divorce in New York
In New York, divorce is no-fault, which means you don’t have to expend precious time, money, or emotional energy assigning blame to end this chapter of your life. You just have to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and has been for a period of 6 months. This timeline honors the fact that divorce is not a quick decision to be made lightly.
If you and your spouse are willing and able to work together to reach your own agreements, you can proceed with an uncontested divorce. We can quickly create the settlement agreement which specifies how you’ll divide property, whether there will be spousal support (alimony), and what the custody terms will be (if there are children involved).
This is often the ideal route for couples. No one knows your family better than you, so it should be you making the critical decisions involved in your divorce (not a judge who’s only familiar with your situation as written in a case file). Uncontested divorces are faster, cheaper, more private, and keep you in control!
However, we understand that sometimes, despite everyone’s best efforts, a full agreement simply can’t be reached, and the case must proceed as contested. Our strategic New York City divorce attorneys will negotiate tirelessly to put you in the best possible position to avoid a lengthy, expensive trial that leads to an uncertain outcome. When your fresh, new chapter is waiting to be started, you can count on our dedicated team to get you there faster.
