You can obtain a divorce in New York based on no-fault grounds, which means you don’t need to prove your spouse did something wrong. However, you may pursue a fault-based divorce under certain situations, including:
Fault may be relevant in matters like property division, spousal support, or child custody.
New York follows an equitable distribution model in which marital property is divided fairly — not necessarily equally. The court considers many factors when dividing property, such as each spouse’s earning capacity, individual needs, and contributions to the marriage.
The timeline of a divorce can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the court’s backlog. It could be several weeks or several months.
Similar to its timeline, the total cost of your divorce will depend on whether it’s contested, the complexity of the issues, specific attorney fees, and whether any expert witness fees are required. To learn more, contact our Staten Island divorce attorneys.
