No-Fault Divorce in Suffolk County
Dissolving Dysfunctional Marriages
Irretrievable Breakdown = No-Fault Divorce
In 2010, Governor Paterson signed into law “no-fault divorce” in New York State. Before this law, couples who wanted to file for divorce could only do so using specific grounds, such as adultery or cruel and unusual treatment. Now, couples can file for divorce much more easily, by citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of their relationship for at least six months. To learn about your legal rights in a divorce, you should speak with a qualified Suffolk County divorce attorney at Lynn Poster-Zimmerman, P.C., today.
Even when couples mutually agree on getting a divorce, it does not mean that their divorce will ultimately be an uncontested divorce.
As in any divorce, especially those involving children, specific issues must be fully addressed:
- Child custody,
- Child visitation,
- Child support,
- Equitable distribution of property
- Spousal support or maintenance
These and any applicable counsel fees need to be agreed upon before the divorce can be finalized.
