Understanding Divorce in New York
Divorce laws in New York affect how I file and resolve my case. I explain each important step so you know what to expect from start to finish.
What Are the Divorce Laws in Queens?
In Queens, I start my divorce case by filing at the County Clerk’s Office. I must pay a $210 fee to get an index number before moving forward with any court procedures. To begin, I need either a “Summons With Notice” or a “Summons and Complaint.” After this step, I arrange for the Defendant to be personally served with divorce papers within 120 days of filing.
If both spouses agree on everything such as division of assets, child custody, alimony, and settlement terms, it qualifies as an uncontested divorce. Later in the process, extra paperwork such as the Request for Judicial Intervention (RJI) and Note of Issue (NOI) is needed along with a $125 fee.
Only after approval does the Judge sign off on the Judgment of Divorce; then I file and serve it. The state requires no waiting period before finalizing separation or mediation agreements but all steps above need completion first.
What Is the Difference Between No-Fault and Fault-Based Divorce?
New York allowed no-fault divorce in 2010. I can now get divorced by stating the marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least six months. The judge does not require me to prove wrongdoing or assign blame to my spouse.
No-fault divorce works well if both people accept that they want to end things peacefully.
Fault-based divorce still exists in New York, but it needs proof of grounds like cruel treatment, abandonment, imprisonment, or adultery. These cases often need more evidence and usually take longer because both sides might fight over fault and details.
Judges only consider marital fault in dividing property if the actions are very serious such as significant domestic violence. Next, I will explain summary and publication divorce options available here in New York.
What Are Summary and Publication Divorce Options?
Summary divorce lets me end my marriage quickly if I meet certain conditions. If there are no children under 21 and my spouse and I have been separated for at least six months, I can use the online DIY Uncontested Divorce Program.
This tool speeds up the process through electronic filing in some counties, saving time and paperwork. The Supreme Court handles every divorce case in New York State, so I file all documents there.
Publication divorce helps if I cannot find my spouse to serve them with divorce papers. After getting court approval, I arrange for a legal notice about the separation to appear in an approved newspaper as directed by the judge.
This allows me to continue with the legal process even when contact is not possible. A $35 filing fee applies if I include a Settlement Agreement with these papers. Next, I’ll explain uncontested divorces and what makes someone eligible for this option in Queens or anywhere else in NYC.
Uncontested Divorce Services
I help couples end their marriages peacefully with quick, simple uncontested divorce services—read more to see if this option fits your needs.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on every issue about the end of their marriage. I make sure you and your spouse settle matters such as child custody, property division, spousal support, and debts before filing.
Mediation helps many couples reach this agreement without arguing in court. If your spouse consents to the divorce or does not respond after being served with papers, courts treat it as uncontested.
I use a special Uncontested Divorce Packet for these cases in New York. Self-representation is possible with this packet, but legal advice protects your rights—especially if finances or property are involved.
Courts do not allow uncontested divorces if either person is under 18 or if there are contested issues or foreign marriages. This process usually goes much faster than a contested divorce since no one is fighting over the settlement terms.
Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce?
After explaining what an uncontested divorce means, I focus on who meets the requirements for this process. Both spouses need to give mutual consent and agree on every part of the divorce settlement.
This includes spousal agreements, child custody decisions, property division, and other legal documentation.
To file in New York, at least one spouse must meet residency criteria before submitting a divorce application. Legal grounds such as irretrievable breakdown for at least six months or issues like cheating, cruelty, abandonment, or living apart under legal separation count toward qualifying cases.
In families with children under 21 years old, I use a paper packet; if not, the online program is an option. The Defendant can either agree to the terms and sign off or do nothing after being served; any contest turns it into a contested case instead of keeping proceedings uncontested under family law guidelines.
What Are the Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce?
Couples who meet the requirements for an uncontested divorce often ask about the advantages of this process. I find that an amicable separation saves both time and money. I avoid stressful courtroom battles by working out key issues through cooperation, mediation, or collaborative law.
Court costs stay low since legal fees and expenses drop with fewer hearings and simplified paperwork. Most uncontested divorces in New York resolve within weeks rather than months.
By focusing on mutual agreement, I keep control over decisions like property distribution or child support instead of leaving those choices to a judge. This approach lets me reach a customized settlement that fits my life and needs while promoting conflict resolution along the way.

How Does Our Streamlined Divorce Process Work?

My process uses virtual meetings and fasttrack legal documentation to save time and reduce stress. The court can finalize uncontested divorces within as little as 14 days after filing.
I recommend mediation or a collaborative process only if couples need help reaching settlement. Every step is handled online for your convenience in Queens and NYC.
What Are the Requirements for an Expedited Divorce?
To qualify for an expedited uncontested divorce in New York City, I must agree with my spouse on every detail. This includes child custody, asset division, and property matters. Both of us need to sign all legal documents before the process moves forward.
For a no-fault divorce, I do not have to prove fault or wrongdoing.
I work directly with Aronov Family Law NY to prepare a Stipulation of Settlement that covers every agreement between us. The court requires this document to prevent any future disputes over our settlement terms.
After filing the paperwork, most expedited divorces can be finalized in under 30 days if everything is correct and complete.
How Long Does an Uncontested Divorce Usually Take?
An uncontested divorce in New York usually takes between six weeks and three months to finalize. The exact timeline depends on how quickly both spouses sign papers, respond, and complete steps like filing documents with the court.
State law gives the defendant 30 days to reply after being served divorce papers, so fast responses help move things along.
I have handled cases where clients finalized everything much faster than average. For example, Nael Hassan completed his uncontested divorce with my help in just 7 days on January 10, 2024.
Other recent clients finished their divorces in as little as 17 days (Joseph Crisanti), or within 22 days (Brian Sachs). Lesly Diaz received her final marital dissolution in only 28 days this year.
While some separations may take longer if one party delays signing or responding, an expedited process is possible when both people cooperate fully and meet all settlement requirements promptly.
The Divorce Process Step-by-Step
I will guide you through each step of your divorce. You will see how simple the process can be with my help.
What Happens During the Initial Consultation and Case Review?
I start the expedited divorce process by scheduling a brief interview with you. During our free consultation, I review your situation to see if you qualify for an uncontested or expedited divorce.
My first step is collecting key details using a client intake form, which helps me understand your case quickly.
In the case review, I explain how we can streamline your divorce and cut legal costs. I give advice about family law concerns and share strategies that fit your needs best. Using what I learn during our meeting, I check if you meet all requirements to move forward in as little as 14 days without a waiting period in Queens or NYC.
How Are Divorce Filings and Legal Documents Handled?
To start the divorce process, I file a “Summons With Notice” or a “Summons and Complaint” at the County Clerk’s Office. As the Plaintiff, I have 120 days to make sure someone over 18 who is not me serves these divorce papers to my spouse, called the Defendant.
My spouse may respond by filing an Answer or signing an Affidavit of Defendant to agree with the terms. If there is no response from my spouse, this may lead to a default judgment in my favor.
For uncontested divorces, I prepare and submit additional legal documents like the Note of Issue after agreement or default so that everything moves forward smoothly.
How Is the Divorce Decree Finalized?
I file the remaining divorce paperwork with the County Clerk’s Office or Supreme Court Clerk, as required for an uncontested divorce. I pay a $125 filing fee at this stage. After all legal documents are submitted, a Judge reviews them and signs the Judgment of Divorce.
Once signed, I file the Judgment with the County Clerk’s Office to complete finalization. Then, I deliver a copy of the signed Judgment to my ex-spouse. I also prepare and submit an Affidavit of Service to confirm that proper service has occurred.
This process ends with official documentation proving my divorce is legally recognized in New York.
Property, Children, and Financial Matters
I handle the division of assets, child-related issues, and financial agreements with care, so read more to see how I can help your family.
How Is Property Equitably Distributed?
In New York, I follow equitable distribution rules for dividing marital property. The law focuses on fairness, not a 50-50 split. I look at factors like the length of your marriage, both spouses’ income and health, and what each person contributed during the relationship.
Both financial help and non-financial work matter.
If one spouse mixes separate property with shared assets, it can become marital property through commingling. Asset division covers everything from homes to bank accounts and debts.
I encourage couples to reach settlement agreements since this often reduces stress and costs tied to contested cases.
What Are the Child Custody and Support Rules?
Courts in New York must resolve child custody, visitation, and child support issues before they can finalize a divorce. I need to address arrangements for children under 18 and agree on who will have legal guardianship and how visitation will work.
All “children of the marriage” include those born to or adopted by both spouses during the marriage, up until age 20.
I must establish a fair child support plan that covers all children before finishing my divorce case. If my child marries, joins the military, or becomes self-supporting at age 18, courts may consider them emancipated and not entitled to further support.
My parental rights and obligations depend on these rules under New York family law.
How Are Spousal Support and Maintenance Agreements Determined?
I use clear state guidelines to help set spousal support and maintenance agreements. Spousal support helps meet a spouse’s reasonable needs if there is income disparity or not enough assets to cover expenses.
In New York, I can seek support in Family Court even if both spouses still live together. Spousal support ends once the divorce becomes final; after that, only post-divorce maintenance applies.
Maintenance amounts come from formulas based on both incomes and marriage length. The duration of payments usually falls between 15% and 50% of how long the marriage lasted. For divorces after January 1, 2019, federal law no longer counts spousal support as taxable income for the person receiving it, but State and City taxes may still apply.
I pay attention to these rules so that financial agreements match your rights under current laws and tax regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many people have questions about divorce and legal services. I answer the most common ones here to help you make informed decisions.
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
I can file for an uncontested divorce in New York without hiring a lawyer, but legal representation helps protect my rights. Even if both spouses agree on every detail of the settlement, mistakes in petition filing or agreement terms can delay court approval or make parts of the marriage dissolution unenforceable.
A lawyer guides me through family law issues, drafts enforceable agreements, and ensures a quick resolution. Most uncontested divorces finalize within six weeks once all paperwork is correct.
I can access free consultations with Aronov Family Law NY, P.C., so I get answers before making big decisions about property division or support arrangements.
How Much Does a Divorce Cost with Aronov Family Law?
The minimum court fees for filing an uncontested divorce in New York total $335.00. This includes a $210.00 index number filing fee and a $125.00 Note of Issue fee. I often see clients pay extra for things like photocopies, notary services, process serving, mailing, or transportation.
If I am unemployed or have financial difficulty, I can request a fee waiver by completing specific forms from the Uncontested Divorce Packet. The packet does not cover annulments but applies to most uncontested divorces.
Legal fees may vary based on the complexity of legal documents and any additional court costs that come up during proceedings.
Am I Eligible for Spousal Support?
Cost affects many decisions in divorce, but I also need to know if I qualify for spousal support or alimony. Courts in New York use strict guidelines to decide eligibility. They check how long my marriage lasted, the difference between my income and my spouse’s income, each person’s financial needs, our ages, health conditions, and what we both contributed at home.
If I have a lower income or face greater financial hardship after separation, courts may order support payments. For example, longer marriages often lead to longer maintenance periods under state rules set by New York law.
Changes such as job loss or remarriage make it possible for me to ask the court to review current agreements. Legal counsel helps ensure any maintenance agreement stays fair and follows all state laws on marital property and family law rights.
