FAQ
The average timeline for a divorce in New York is approximately 9.5 months. As compared to the national average of 11 months, New York generally has a fast process. The reason for the quicker timeline is New York's decision to forego a waiting period prior to a divorce.
An uncontested divorce occurs when: (a) there are no disagreements between you and your spouse over any financial or divorce-related issues (i.e., child custody and support, division of marital property or spousal support); and (b) your spouse either agrees to the divorce, or fails to appear in the divorce action.
New York courts must divide the marital property “equitably.” That means fairly, considering the circumstances of the case and of the parties involved, but it does not necessarily mean “equally.” There is no statutory requirement of a 50/50 split of marital property.
Although you can complete a divorce without your spouse's consent, you must take steps to notify him or her of your intention to divorce. If you cannot locate your spouse, you can still file for divorce, but only after you have taken steps to attempt to locate and serve him or her with the divorce papers.
The husband and wife must be living separate and apart for a period of at least one year after signing a separation agreement to use it for a divorce.
Uncontested Divorces: When both spouses agree on all terms of the divorce, the process can be relatively quick. After the mandatory 31-day waiting period following the filing of the divorce, an uncontested divorce is typically finalized within 30 to 60 days.
Even if a divorce is uncontested, Georgia law requires a 46 day waiting period. If both parties sign proper consents to try, that is reduced to 31 days. That 31 days cannot be waived.
A divorce in Georgia can take anywhere from 31 days to several years, depending on the type of divorce and other factors. If both spouses are willing to collaborate on their divorce, it often takes between six months and one year to resolve.
Theoretically it's possible to get a divorce in Georgia is as little as 31 days. The reality for an uncontested divorce in Georgia is six months to one year from filing to receiving your final decree. A contested divorce in Georgia can range from six months to several years.
New York's “No Fault” Ground: What is “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage”? An irretrievable breakdown of the marriage allows one spouse, unilaterally, to end a marriage and to do so without the agreement of the other spouse.
