What You Need to Know About Divorce in New York

When you get divorced in New York, you must first meet certain residency requirements. Either you or your spouse must have been living in New York for two continuous years to be granted a divorce legally. Alternatively, either of you could have lived in New York for one continuous year if you got married in New York, lived there as a married couple, or experienced grounds for divorce while in New York. 

Grounds for divorce in New York can be irreconcilable differences (no-fault divorce) or, if you intend to pursue at-fault divorce, you can choose from among these options:

  • You have been subjected to cruel and unusual treatment by your spouse. 
  • Your spouse has abandoned you for at least a year.
  • Your spouse has been imprisoned for three or more years.
  • Your spouse had cheated on you.
  • You divorce after a legal separation.
  • You divorce after a judgement of separation.

Whether or not you are pursuing no-fault divorce or at-fault divorce will determine the length of time your divorce will take, how costly it will be, and whether or not you will go to court to fight for your divorce. 

How Our Queens Divorce Attorney Can Support You Throughout the Process

Our compassionate Queens divorce attorney at Sabra Law Group understands the importance of legal support when it comes to ending your divorce on your terms. Our head attorney is also a mediator, which means that we can work with you to keep your divorce out of court and make your experience overall more pleasant and cooperative. There are many benefits of using mediation as opposed to litigation (court), including:

  • It helps you financially.
  • It makes the divorce process quicker.
  • It helps keep the details of your marriage private.
  • It allows you to maintain a cordial relationship with your spouse.
  • It gives you greater control over how your divorce is settled.

We can work with you to collaborate with your spouse and come to an agreement that works for both of you. However, if mediation is not an option, we will advocate on your behalf through negotiation or litigation and work to get the settlement you deserve!
