We’ll help you confirm eligibility before filing.

No-Fault Divorce in New York

New York is a no-fault divorce state. That means you don’t need to prove wrongdoing — just state that your marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least 6 months.

Types of Divorce:

• Uncontested Divorce – You agree on all terms

• Contested Divorce – You disagree and may need court intervention

Even in uncontested cases, legal help is key to avoiding costly mistakes.
