NO FAULT DIVORCE, ETC.

July 7th, 2010

The New York State Assembly has passed a three bill package aimed at reforming NY’s divorce laws.    NY, which is currently the only state that still requires grounds for divorce, will have a no fault provision that will allow one spouse to state under oath that the marriage has been irretrievably broken for a period of at least six months.      This legislation should simplify and lessen the cost of the divorce process.    The two additional bills address provisions for temporary maintenance as well as attorney and expert fees for the non-monied spouse.     Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
