Re: Can a Wife force a Divorce in NY with no Groun

New York has two options for divorce...Fault or No-fault. For a no-fault divorce, both parties have to be in agreement about the divorce and sign a legal separation agreement. After a period of time (it's a year or two...don't have my facts on that, sorry) goes by, they can then file for a no-fault divorce.

Since many people who want out are not willing to wait that period of time, they have to look at the Fault categories and decide if they can file under one of those. Even couples who are in agreement about the divorce decide to go his route in order to get it over with as quickly as possible. They often chose "Abandonment" as the fault.

However, in order to get a reluctant spouse into negotiations, they often start out with something along the lines of getting a restraining order for physical/mental/emotional abuse and then file for divorce claiming that. That is the danger of trying to stay in the house when one spouse wants out. If things devolve, you could find yourself charged with all sorts of false accusations simply because she wants you OUT. The truth is, for the initial temporary court order of protection, she does NOT have to have much evidence. But that would be enough to get to you to move out...you'd HAVE to.
