New York Uncontested Divorce Lawyers

An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses have fully agreed on every issue: division of marital property and assets, responsibility for marital debts, child custody and parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance.

New York allows no-fault divorce under Domestic Relations Law §170(7). The ground is 'irretrievable breakdown of the marriage' for at least six months. Either spouse can obtain a divorce without proving fault — no need to establish abandonment, cruelty, or adultery. For virtually all uncontested divorces, this is the right ground, and it's the one we use.

If your spouse refuses to sign the agreement or disputes any of the terms, your divorce is contested — and we are not the right fit for that stage. We'll tell you clearly and help you understand your options. Our practice is limited to uncontested divorces.
