To How to Get Divorced in New York you must follow specific legal steps. First, determine if you meet the residency requirements. At least one spouse must have lived in New York for a continuous period of 2 years, or the grounds for divorce must have occurred in the state. If neither applies, the state must be where both parties lived during the marriage.
Next, file a "Summons with Notice" or "Summons and Complaint" with the Supreme Court in the county where you reside. This starts the legal process. You will need to provide grounds for divorce, which can be either no-fault (irreconcilable differences) or fault-based (such as adultery or cruelty).
