Divorce Law: What Spouses Need to Know
New York made divorce easy to start and left everything else where it was. Grounds are no longer contested. Since 2010, one spouse stating under oath that the marriage has broken down irretrievably for at least six months is enough. The other spouse cannot dispute it. But the judgment waits. No divorce is granted until property, support, and custody are resolved. A case with no disagreement about ending the marriage can still take years if there is disagreement about a business, a pension, or a parenting schedule. Residency is checked first, and it has more than one path. Depending on where you married, where you lived as a couple, and where the grounds arose, the required period may be one year or two — and where both spouses live in New York and the grounds arose here, no waiting period applies at all. What the court decides splits into three questions, each with a different method. Support is calculated by formula. Property is distributed equitably, which is not the same as equally. Custody has no formula at all.Most of what determines the outcome is settled before anyone sees a judge.
