Mr. Goodwin is everything you want in an attorney: professional, honest, thorough, and genuinely caring. He always explains things clearly, so I understood exactly what was happening and what to expect next. His attention to detail and persistence really stood out. Looking back, I feel lucky to have found him. He guided me through the whole process expertly, and I deeply appreciate all his hard work. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal help.
The first step in getting a quick divorce in NYC is determining whether you are eligible to file for divorce in New York. Generally, if either of the spouse has resided in New York for at least two years before filing the action, the New York court has jurisdiction. This two-year residency requirement can be reduced to one year if: (a) the couple got married in New York; (b) the spouses lived in New York as a married couple; or, (c) the grounds of divorce took place in the state of New York.
The quickest way to get a divorce in NYC is the uncontested divorce. Both parties have to agree to all the terms of the divorce: to end the marriage, child support, child custody, spousal support, spousal maintenance, and division of assets.
If the parties don’t have children under 21 years old and agree to the distribution of marital assets, they qualify for the expedited uncontested divorce. The parties will need to file a Stipulation of Settlement, which the court will approve in its judgment of divorce. If the parties have children under 21 years old but agree on issues of property, custody, and visitation, there are more forms to sign, but the divorce proceedings can be expedited if the defendant spouse waives service and accepts the summons and complaint. In uncontested divorces, a divorce decree can be issued in as little as six weeks.
