Frequently Asked Questions

How does New York divide marital property in a divorce?

New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Courts weigh factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, contributions to marital property, and the needs of each party going forward. Separate property — assets owned before marriage or received as gifts or inheritance — is generally excluded from division, though documentation matters significantly when distinguishing it from marital property.

What is the residency requirement to file for divorce in New York?

New York requires at least one spouse to meet a residency requirement before filing for divorce. The most common basis is that either spouse has been a New York resident for at least two years, or one year if the couple was married in New York, lived in New York as a married couple, or the grounds for divorce arose in New York. Suffolk County Family Court handles support and custody matters while the Supreme Court handles the divorce itself.
