New York Court Explains Evidence Used in Equitable Distribution Determinations Pursuant to New York law, when a married couple divorces, the court will typically distribute their marital property in an equitable manner. While in some instances, the process is relatively straightforward, in others, it can be complicated. For example, if the parties comingle separate and marital assets, they may have to provide proof of the nature of the property to establish their ownership interests. Recently, a New York court discussed what level of proof is required in an opinion in which it upheld the trial court’s equitable distribution determination. If you need assistance ending your marriage, it is prudent to consult a New York divorce attorney to evaluate your options.

FAQs

Do I qualify for an uncontested divorce?

If you and your spouse are in agreement regarding the terms of your divorce, including child custody and support (if applicable), division of marital property or spousal support or if your spouse will not seek to contest the divorce once served, then your divorce will remain uncontested.

Neither I nor my spouse lives in the state of New York, am I eligible for a New York divorce?

If neither you nor your wife maintains a residence in New York, you will not be able to file a divorce in New York. This rule does not apply to military personnel or parties who have temporarily relocated.

My spouse refuses to sign his/her affidavits, what are my options?

In the event that your spouse refuses to cooperate with the divorce process or is unwilling to sign the proposed settlement agreement or divorce affidavits, we will need to have him or her served by a process server. This in effect will give the defendant (your spouse) notice of the proceeding and action for divorce. Once properly served, if the defendant (or their attorney) does not respond by filing a "Notice of Appearance" or an "Answer" with the Court, we may request that the Court enter a default Judgment of Divorce against the defendant.

Will my divorce be recognized in another country?

Yes. However, if you will be entering your Judgment of Divorce in a foreign jurisdiction please be aware that, in many instances, you may need to have the Judgment of Divorce authenticated by the U.S. Department of State that issues both Authentication Certificates and Apostilles. If you intend to present your Judgment of Divorce to a foreign jurisdiction, please be sure to discuss this with our legal team.

My child is under 21 but is financially independent and no longer resides at home, is Child Support required?

If your child is legally emancipated, that is, your child is financially independent, lives on his or her own and you do not claim this child on your tax return, you will not be able to seek support for this child even if he or she is under the age of 21.

Other questions that you might have are answered on the FAQ page of our website.
