New York FAQ
In New York, the divorce process begins with filing a Summons and Complaint in Supreme Court, followed by serving the other spouse. If contested, issues like property division, custody, and support are litigated or mediated. If uncontested, spouses agree on terms and submit them for court approval. Global Law Experts notes that New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning assets are divided fairly, not always equally.
