Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in New York?
To file for divorce in New York, either you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least two years before filing. If you married in New York or lived in the state as a married couple, the time requirement may be reduced to one year. A Mt Sinai lawyer can help confirm if you meet these rules.
How long does a divorce take in New York?
An uncontested divorce in New York can be finalized in a few months. A contested divorce may take a year or more depending on the complexity of issues like property division or custody. New York has a mandatory waiting period of 60 days after the summons is filed before a judgment can be entered.
What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce in New York?
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on all terms including property, support, and custody. A contested divorce means the spouses cannot agree and the court must decide. New York courts encourage mediation and settlement to reduce conflict and legal costs.
