In New York, you do not need to be legally separated before filing for divorce, although there are different processes. A legal separation can lead to a divorce, but you can also file for divorce outright if grounds for divorce exist. The NY UD-1 - guide offers further clarification on the requirements for each option. It’s beneficial to understand both paths and discuss your circumstances with a legal professional to find the best solution.
