The New York City divorce process involves several steps, from filing to final judgment. It involves filing a divorce petition with the NYC Supreme Court, serving the spouse with divorce papers, responding to the petition, negotiating a settlement agreement, and attending court proceedings. The process can be uncontested, contested, or no-fault. The required documents include a divorce petition, statement of net worth, child support worksheet, and certificate of dissolution. The filing fees vary by city and county, and the timeline varies between 6-12 months. An attorney is recommended but not required.
