DIVORCE UNCONTESTED

Both parties involved in a marriage have worked out the issues pertaining to their divorce without court help, it is considered an uncontested divorce. Uncontested divorce, is the very common due to its simplicity and low cost. If spouses can agree on the terms for division of property, child custody and child support issues, then they can usually complete the divorce amicably.

Even though you are going through your divorce on good terms and agreeing on important issues, you should still speak with an attorney. The following requirements must be met before we are able to file your uncontested divorce in New York. You and your spouse agree on the grounds for divorce, which are: Abandonment (must be for more than one year), Constructive abandonment (either you or your spouse has refused to have sexual relations for more than one year); Adultery; Written Separation Agreement ; Cruel and Inhumane Treatment ; You and your spouse must agree on Custody of the Children and the exact amount of child support or have an Order from Family Court. There is property to divide between the two of you. This includes bank accounts, pensions, real and personal property. You or your spouse has lived in New York for at least one year.

Our firm will only represent you. We can not represent both you and your spouse. This is a very brief and simplistic overview of bases for uncontested divorces and hopefully you have seen "your" case in this overview. Please contact us and ask any questions for clarification of any of this information that may be unclear.
