Is New York A No Fault State Divorce
New York is not a "no-fault" state when it comes to divorce in the traditional sense, but it does offer a no-fault option for couples seeking to end their marriage. In 2010, New York introduced "no-fault" divorce, which allows one spouse to file for divorce without having to prove fault or wrongdoing by the other party. This means that a divorce can be granted simply by stating that the marriage has irretrievably broken down for at least six months.
