Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in New York

Filing Requirements

To initiate a divorce case, one of the spouses must file a Complaint along with other forms in person with the Supreme Court in the county where either spouse lives or e-file. Next, serve the documents on the other party, submit the rest of the papers, attend a hearing if required, get your final decree signed by the judge, and file it with the clerk.

Residency Requirements

Under New York laws, either spouse must have lived in the state for at least 2 years prior to filing. Alternatively, either of you must have continuously lived in the state for at least 1 year before filing, given that you got married in New York; one of you must have lived there during the marriage; or the cause of the divorce should have occurred in the state.

Waiting Period

New York does not have a waiting period, so divorce may be finalized relatively quickly. However, after being served with the papers, the defendant has 20 days to respond if they live in NY or 30 days if they are a resident of another state. Therefore, the process duration may depend on how quickly the respondent is to file the response, among other factors.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

To get filled-out divorce paperwork for your uncontested, no-fault case online, you will need to complete a comprehensive questionnaire on our platform. The handy tips in each block will help you understand the questions better and let you know what type of information to provide.

The details you’ll need to indicate include full names, dates of birth, and addresses of all the involved parties, including your children, if any, the date and place of your marriage, among other information. There will also be questions about your and your spouse’s income, debts, liabilities, taxes, insurance, other financial details, workplace, marital and separate property, and others, as this is what courts require to be included in forms.

You may download the full divorce kit – the filled-out paperwork and the filing instructions – from your account as soon as it is ready. And, for a small extra fee, you may also choose to receive it by mail. At a minimum, your package will include the following forms:

  • Verified Complaint
  • Summons
  • Notice of Automatic Orders
  • Settlement Agreement

What if We Have Children?

If you provide all the details related to child custody and support in the questionnaire, we will complete the child-related forms for no additional fee. When it comes to filing, New York online divorce is available even for couples with children under 18.

Here are some of the important matters for divorcing parents to consider:

  • A judge usually grants custody based on the best interests of the child. Normally, both parents are eligible to have custody if there are no specific legal obstacles to it.
  • If a judge awards joint legal custody, spouses will make important decisions together, even if children live with only one parent. If parents are granted joint physical custody, the child will live in both households for an agreed-upon amount of time.
  • If one parent is granted sole custody, the other one can still obtain visitation rights. Usually, spouses agree on the visitation schedule on their own, but if they fail, it will be issued by a judge.
  • In NY, both parents must financially support their children until they turn 21. The custodial parent may often get child support from the non-custodial one.
