Types of Divorce

• New York is the only state in the United States
  that still requires fault to be proven during a
  divorce proceeding.
• If fault is not found, the divorce will not be
  ratified and the couple will still be legally
  married.

No-Fault Divorce

• In a no-fault divorce, neither party is required
  to prove fault.
• The grounds for divorce under no-fault are
  incompatibility, irreconcilable differences and
  irremediable breakdown of the marriage.
