Pro Tip:
Avoid providers of New York uncontested divorce document preparation that limit the documents they will provide to only the "documents required by New York State" and do not specifically state that they will provide "all required documents" to file for and finalize your divorce.
Some providers only disclose in their Terms of Service that you have the responsibility to obtain any form the local court requires to be filed that is not provided by the state and you have to fill it out yourself.
If you're going to pay someone to prepare your divorce papers, it's reasonable to expect them to prepare every document required to file for and finalize the divorce.

What's the best way to get
a cheap divorce in New York?
What's the best way to get
a cheap divorce in New York?
The cheapest way to get divorced in New York State is file an uncontested no-fault divorce and prepare the divorce papers and file it yourself. Your only expense will be the payment of the court's mandatory $335 filing fees plus about $10 if you want a certified copy of the Judgment of Divorce.
As discussed below, while this is the cheapest way to get divorced it is not the best or easiest and convenient way to get divorced — just like preparing and filing your own taxes costs very little but it's very beneficial to have an experience professional prepare and file your tax forms for you.
In an uncontested divorce you and your spouse must agree
on all issues addressed in your divorce (stated another way, you and your spouse cannot disagree on any issues addressed in your divorce).
Generally speaking, in a no-fault divorce neither you or or spouse blames the other spouse and neither spouse has to prove that the other spouse was at fault for the marriage breaking down.
It is sufficient for the spouse filing the divorce to state that the marriage has irretrieably broken down for at least six months prior to the date the divorce is filed.
You and your spouse can include any legal agreement in your divorce. The following are some of the most common marital issues that must be agreed to in an uncontested divorce.
1. Whether you and your spouse agree to get divorced;
2. Whether you and your spouse agree to divide or waive distribution of your joint marital property (if any) and joint marital debts (if any) in the divorce;
3. Whether you and your spouse agree that spousal support will be paid from one spouse to the other or it will be waived. If spousal support will be paid, how often will it be paid (e.g, weekly or monthly) and how much will be paid in each payment;
4. If you and your spouse have unemancipated children from your marriage (either by birth or adoption) under the age of 21 years old the custody, child support and parenting time of your children must be agreed to by you and your spouse.
The absolute cheapest way to file an uncontested divorce is to prepare the divorce papers yourself and to also file them yourself with the court. Your only expense will be the payment of the court's mandatory $335 filing fees which is charged whether you
file your own divorce or you have someone else file it for you (e.g., an attorney or paralegal).
What is an uncontested
divorce?
What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is the least expensive and least stressful way to get divorced. It is a legal process in which both spouses agree to dissolve their marriage and also
come to an agreement on related issues such as child custody, child support, visitation, property division, alimony, and other matters related to the divorce. In an uncontested divorce,
both spouses cooperate and work together amicably to reach a consensus on these issues, and their mutual agreement(s) are then presented to the court for approval by a judge. Because there are no disputes to litigate in court
an uncontested divorce can be filed without hiring an attorney.
In contrast, a contested divorce occurs in situations where spouses cannot reach a mutual agreement on one or more of these issues, which will require legal proceedings in court before a judge.
In a contested divorce, each spouse typically hires an attorney to represent them and each spouse provides testimony in court (which can be very stressful) to support their position on any disputed issues.
The judge will make binding legal decisions to resolve their disputes. Consequently, an uncontested divorce represents a quicker, more cost-effective, and less emotionally taxing alternative when compared to a contested divorce.
