Manhattan Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
Save Time & Money with an Uncontested Divorce
Are you and your spouse in agreement regarding the terms of your divorce? If you are interested in saving time and money by completing an uncontested divorce in Manhattan, an attorney at The Kepanis Law Firm can help. The firm represents clients in uncontested divorce proceedings throughout Manhattan and the surrounding areas.
To qualify for an uncontested divorce, you must meet two primary qualifications:
Because New York is an "at-fault" state in regard to divorce, you cannot file for an uncontested divorce simply on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. You must establish grounds for the divorce to file. Adultery, abandonment, imprisonment and cruel or inhumane treatment are all valid grounds for divorce. In the absence of these, you and your spouse must have lived separately in accordance with a separation agreement or judgment of separation for at least one year.
