Most divorces are difficult situations. Even the most amicable splits can
quickly be hindered by complications. Regardless of the way you choose
to end your marriage, one spouse may feel upset or hurt. Couples who choose
to separate through mediation or litigation can find themselves seeking
legal assistance when issues pertaining to children or assets are disputed.
The state of New York has specific laws governing divorce and grounds
for divorce, and you should always speak with an attorney prior to filing.

Grounds for Divorce in New York
In order to obtain a divorce in the state of New York, you or your spouse
must be a New York resident for at least 6 months before filing a petition
for divorce. It's important to have any attorney to walk you through
this process. The laws and regulations governing family law and divorce
can be difficult to understand, and traversing the New York family courts
alone can be intimidating. Working with the right attorney can make all
the difference in the outcome of your case. When you work with my firm,
I will discuss in detail the residency requirements and help you determine
a ground for filing divorce. The state recognizes seven different grounds
for divorce, including:
- Separation agreements
- Judgment agreements
- Cruel and inhumane treatment
- Irretrievable breakdown
- Abandonment
- Adultery
- Imprisonment
When you retain my services, I will fully review your case and help you
decide with situation best fits your and your spouse's separation.
I can also assist you with completing and filing a divorce petition and
determining which court is appropriate for you to file with based on your
residency. We will also review all areas of the divorce decree, including
alimony,
child custody,
child support and
visitation.
