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.
