No-Fault Divorce in New York

New York is a no-fault divorce state. This means that a spouse can file a petition for a divorce without citing specific grounds for doing so. The filing spouse only needs to claim that the marriage has been irretrievably broken. Although it is still permissible to file for a fault-based divorce, a no-fault divorce is preferred by most couples. This option typically proves to be a simpler process, especially when the divorce is uncontested. However, even a no-fault divorce is a complex process and should be handled with the help of a skilled legal team. Rely on Jackson Bergman, LLP to guide you during this challenging time.

Understanding Equitable Distribution

The process of equitable distribution can be particularly complicated. It involves parsing out separate property from marital property. It can involve valuing certain assets as of the date you were married and on the date the divorce action was commenced. Equitable distribution involves, among other things, analyzing the value of real property, investments, bank accounts, debt, and wasteful dissipation of assets.

The court will consider several factors when determining what is equitable in the distribution of your marital property, including:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The age and health of each spouse
  • The income and property of each party
  • The earning capacity of each spouse
  • The non-financial contributions of each spouse
  • The nature of the property involved (liquid or non-liquid assets)
  • The wishes of both parties regarding specific assets
