No. New York recognizes no‑fault divorce based on an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage for at least six months. Fault grounds still exist, but most cases proceed on no‑fault.
It depends on issues like children, property, and cooperation between spouses. Uncontested matters may resolve in months; contested cases can take longer due to discovery, motion practice, and court schedules.
Uncontested cases may be handled mostly on paper. Contested matters often require conferences, depositions, or hearings. Your attorney will manage court appearances and briefing.
