Uncontested Divorce Attorney Services

In New York State, an uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on the terms and conditions of ending their marriage. This includes settling on all divorce-related issues such as division of property and alimony. In addition, you both must agree on the reason for your divorce, also known as the "grounds." The most common ground used to obtain uncontested divorce in New York is the "no-fault" ground of irretrievable breakdown. This means that, for at least six months before filing, you and your spouse no longer want to be married and it is not likely you will get back together.
When you schedule your first consultation, Chris will take the time to review the specifics of your particular circumstances in order to develop an ideal course of action. He can work with you to explore all possible resolutions until he find the one that makes the most sense for your family.
