NEW YORK "NO FAULT" DIVORCE LAW

New York is the last state of the fifty to adopt "no-fault divorce," as a result of significant reform of the NY divorce laws. Under the new law a spouse seeking a divorce in New York, is no longer required to claim reasons as the basis for the divorce, a rule that had prolonged and aggravated the painful divorce process.

The new matrimonial laws in NY also revised the process for awards of temporary maintenance (spousal support) while a divorce in New York is pending. This revision includes a formula and list of factors for such awards, which would allow for a speedy resolution of the maintenance (spousal support) issue, and prevent less well-off spouses in divorce proceedings in New York from falling into poverty during litigation.

The new laws also created a presumption that a less monied spouse in a New York divorce case is entitled to payment of divorce attorneys' legal fees. Under current law, a spouse who cannot afford legal representation in a divorce proceeding must make an application to the court for fees at the end of the process. This can force a poor spouse to proceed without a lawyer, or to give up important legal rights due to lack of means.
