Divorce FAQs
How does an uncontested divorce work?
Both spouses agree to end the marriage and agree on the terms. It is mostly a paperwork process and nobody argues in front of a judge.
I cannot find my spouse. Can I still divorce?
Yes. It changes how the papers are delivered and adds a step, but the case can still go forward.
Can a divorce stay uncontested with children?
Yes. You have more terms to agree on, and the court looks more closely at what you agreed.
What if my spouse will not sign?
Refusing to sign does not stop a divorce in New York. It changes the route and usually makes the case slower.
How fast can a divorce be done?
Part of the timeline is yours to control and part belongs to the court. Anyone promising an exact date is guessing.
