AFFORDABLE NY UNCONTESTED DIVORCE ATTORNEY
An uncontested divorce is only possible if both you and your spouse agree to all the material terms, i.e. distribution of assets, alimony, child custody, child support, etc. If you do not agree it is possible to hire an attorney to attempt to negotiate with your spouse and come up with an agreement. which can result in an uncontested divorce.
In order to be divorced in New York State the Courts must have Subject Matter Jurisdiction. If either you or your spouse have resided in NYS for the last 2 years the New York Courts have jurisdiction (jurisdiction can exist in other situations as well).
Until recently New York State was not a "no fault" state for divorces and therefore you needed "grounds" to divorce. Under the new Law, there is a grounds of irreconcileable differences which have lasted at least six months. If you cannot wait the six months, presumably you can still use the old grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. This ground requires physical, mental or psychological cruelty however for very short marriages it is somewhat easier to get a divorce on this grounds.
Divorce Mediation is another possibility. Although not yet that poular in New York State, Mediation is widely used in certain of the states as an alternative to the acromonious and tremendously costly contested divorce. Mediators are either attorneys or social workers with special training and knowledge of the law. Although mediators are impartial, you still need a qualified ny divorce lawyer who is familiar with New York law to review the mediation agreement to see if it is fair and equitable. Successful mediation allows an uncontested divorce.
