Grounds for Divorce in New York
Divorce in New York is much more difficult than in other states. A couple can only get divorced in New York if their relationship meets one of seven criteria. The one most commonly invoked is when the spouses live apart for more than one year pursuant to the terms of a legal separation agreement. Other justifications can include insanity, cruel treatment and abandonment, but those are rare.
At David G. Wallace, P.C., I provide experienced, personalized and thorough representation for divorcing clients. If you are facing divorce, call 607-583-3062 or contact my office online to schedule an initial consultation.
