What should I know about citing fault grounds in a divorce?
You will have to cite grounds for your divorce if you are facing a divorce in New York. You have the option to cite various fault grounds for your divorce including adultery, cruelty, abandonment, and more. However, in most cases, couples will simply file what is known as a no-fault divorce. To do so, the spouses will cite an irretrievable breakdown for a period of 6 months or more prior to the commencement of the action for divorce. Filing a no-fault divorce does not require spouses to prove fault grounds. This is a preferred method for many spouses facing an uncontested divorce.
What are the qualifications for an uncontested divorce in the state of New York?
