Is an uncontested divorce right for you?
An uncontested divorce may be an option when both spouses agree to end the marriage and have resolved the issues that apply to them. Those issues can include dividing property and debts, spousal support, and, if you have children, custody, parenting time, and child support.
New York also has residency and grounds requirements. During a consultation, you can discuss how those requirements apply to your situation and whether anything still needs to be resolved before you file.
How Jeffrey N. Markowicz can help
- Review your agreement. Discuss the terms you and your spouse have agreed on and identify anything that still needs to be addressed.
- Prepare for filing. Understand which documents your case may require and what information you’ll need to gather.
- Know what comes next. Ask about filing, any required service of papers, and what to expect while the court reviews your case.
Frequently asked questions
Can we get an uncontested divorce if we have children?
Yes, an uncontested divorce may be possible if you and your spouse agree on custody, parenting time, child support, and the other terms that apply to your divorce.
Do we need a written agreement before the consultation?
You can request a consultation while your agreement is still informal. If you already have a draft agreement or court papers, have them handy for the conversation.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in New York?
Timing varies by case. It can depend on how much paperwork is ready, whether any issues still need to be resolved, and how long the court takes to review the filing.
