Re: Terms of divorce in NY

The answer to all of your questions is "it depends." That may sound unhelpful, but the reality is that litigation is highly unpredictable. Depending on the issues that are in dispute, it could take months or years. Two parties who are in complete agreement today could reasonably hope to be finally divorced by around next spring. If grounds are the only issue, it would not take much longer. However, to get divorced quickly in NY, the parties typically agree on grounds such as constructive abandonment or cruelty. Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss your particular case. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.
