The Divorce Process, Simplified
A New York uncontested divorce can be easier to understand when you separate it into three practical stages:
The most important distinction is whether the issues are already resolved.
When spouses agree on property, finances, support, and parenting issues where applicable, the case can proceed as uncontested. When material issues remain disputed, additional negotiation, mediation, or legal representation may be necessary before the case is ready for an uncontested filing.
Step 1 — Reach Agreement
Before an uncontested divorce can move forward, you and your spouse need to resolve the issues that apply to your marriage.
Depending on your circumstances, that may include:
The goal is to identify the terms both spouses are prepared to accept before the final divorce documents are prepared.
How Express Divorce Fits In
Express Divorce is designed for couples who have already reached agreement, or who are very close to doing so.
If important issues are still disputed, the matter may need attorney involvement or another resolution process before it is ready for Express Divorce.
Step 2 — Prepare the Documents
Once the terms are settled, the next step is turning those decisions into the documents needed for a New York uncontested divorce.
This is where accuracy matters. The information in the court forms and any settlement documents should be consistent with the agreement between the spouses and with the facts of the case.
How We Help
Our guided process collects the information needed for your qualifying matter and uses it to prepare personalized New York divorce documents.
Depending on the package you choose, you may receive document preparation only, filing support, or attorney involvement.
Your Options
Paperwork Only: We prepare your divorce documents and provide filing instructions. You handle the court process yourself.
We File For You: We prepare the documents and help with filing, signatures, and the procedural steps needed to move the uncontested matter forward.
Attorney Assisted: Attorney support is available when you want legal review or guidance in addition to document preparation and filing assistance.
Step 3 — Complete the Court Process
The final stage is getting the required papers before the court.
For a New York divorce, the case is filed in Supreme Court. Depending on the circumstances and the service package you select, the process may include filing the initial papers, obtaining the required signatures, submitting the uncontested judgment package, responding to routine procedural requirements, and waiting for judicial review.
Once the court approves the submission and signs the Judgment of Divorce, the marriage is legally dissolved.
How We Help
With Paperwork Only, you receive the documents and instructions and manage the filing yourself.
With We File For You, we assist with the filing and signature process.
With an Attorney Assisted option, qualifying matters can also include attorney review and legal guidance.
The destination is the same: a properly completed New York divorce. The difference is how much support you want along the way.
How Long Does a New York Divorce Take?
There is no single timeline for every divorce.
For an uncontested case, timing usually depends on:
New York does not impose a general mandatory waiting period before an uncontested divorce can be finalized. Once the required papers are complete, the remaining timeline largely depends on the court.

How Much Does a New York Divorce Cost?
The cost depends largely on how much professional help the case requires.
Two expenses are important to separate:

Do You Need a Lawyer for an Uncontested Divorce?
Not every uncontested divorce requires full attorney representation.
If you and your spouse have already reached agreement and the matter is straightforward, you may be comfortable using document preparation or filing assistance instead.
Attorney involvement may be appropriate when the case includes:
Express Divorce allows qualifying clients to choose a simpler service when appropriate and add attorney support when legal guidance is needed.

What If Your Divorce Involves Children, Property, or Support?
An uncontested divorce can still involve important financial and family issues.
The difference is that you and your spouse have already reached agreement about how those issues will be handled.
Children
If you have minor children, the agreement may need to address custody, decision-making, parenting time, child support, and related expenses.
Property and Debt
You may need to decide how real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement assets, personal property, and debts will be divided.
Support
Depending on the circumstances, the divorce may also involve child support or maintenance.
Express Divorce is designed to document agreed terms. If you and your spouse remain materially divided on these issues, additional legal or dispute-resolution assistance may be needed before the case can proceed as uncontested.
