Hi, I'm Jerry, nice to meet you!
Having gone through divorce myself, I sincerely hope that your divorce will be as stress-free as possible for you and your family.
I've been an attorney for over 40 years, and since I founded LetsGetDivorced.com many people call me "the cheap divorce attorney." I take that as a compliment for having helped to make going through a divorce less expensive.
If you ask any divorce attorney the question, "How can I get a cheap divorce in New York?" they will tell you that filing an "uncontested" divorce is the best way to reduce the cost of their divorce.
In an uncontested divorce (also known as an amicable divorce or a no-contest divorce), both spouses agree to the terms of their divorce, so they do not have to pay expensive lawyer fees to fight a long and stressful "contested" (disputed) divorce battle in court.
It is perfectly legal to represent yourself in court and to file your own uncontested divorce without having an attorney.
However, many people do not want to try to prepare all of their uncontested divorce documents by themselves.
LetsGetDivorced.com has developed an easy-to-use online divorce service that divorcing spouses can quickly use to complete all required divorce forms online without an attorney in less than an hour for filing an uncontested no-fault divorce.
You enter your divorce details by answering simple questions in an online guided questionnaire. When you are done, LetsGetDivorced.com instantly generates, personalizes, and fills out your divorce forms, divorce documents and filing guide.
Review your documents, and when you are ready sign and file your divorce forms with the court.
LetsGetDivorced.com charges a flat "service fee" of only $99 to complete your uncontested no-fault divorce forms online.
By the way, I'm not just an attorney and the founder of LetsGetDivorced, I'm also "a customer."
I used the LetsGetdivorced.com online divorce service to easily complete all of the divorce documents for my own uncontested divorce.
So I know from my own expertise as an attorney and my own personal first-hand experience of using LetsGetDivorced.com as a customer for my own divorce, that it is very easy, quick, and helpful to use this low-priced online divorce service to quickly generate ready-to-file divorce documents online for filing your own uncontested divorce when not using an attorney to draft the documents.
LetsGetDivorced.com has helped over 100,000 people to get a cheap divorce. Let us help you.

What is an uncontested
divorce?
What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is the most cost-effective 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 mutal agreement(s) are then presented to the court for approval by a judge.

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.
How is child support calculated
and handled in New York?
How is child support calculated and handled in New York?
The following is a general outline of how child support is usually calculated and handled in New York:

Child support in the state of New York is typically calculated using the state's Child Support Standards Act (CSSA). The CSSA provides a formula for calculating the non-custodial parent's child support obligation based on a percentage of the parents' combined income, up to a certain income cap.

1. Determine Parental Income: The first step is to determine each parent's income. This includes all types of income such as wages, salary, and even certain types of government benefits.

2. Combine the Incomes: Combine both parents' incomes to determine the combined parental income.

3. Apply the Income Cap: The state of New York has an income cap for child support calculations ($163,000 as of 2023, subject to periodic adjustments). Any income beyond this cap is generally not included in the formula, although a court can choose to consider it.

4. Determine the Child Support Percentage: A specific percentage of the combined parental income is set aside for child support. The percentage is determined based on the number of children:

One child: 17% Two children: 25% Three children: 29% Four children: 31% Five or more children: at least 35%

5. Calculate the Basic Support Obligation: Multiply the combined parental income by the appropriate percentage to get the basic child support obligation.

6. Proportional Sharing: The non-custodial parent's share of the child support obligation is then calculated based on their proportion of the combined parental income.

7. Consider Additional Costs: The court may also consider other costs like healthcare, education, and childcare, which can affect the final amount of child support.

8. Issuance of Child Support Order: After the calculation, a child support order is issued, outlining how much and how often the non-custodial parent must pay.

Note: Child Support in an Uncontested Divorce:

In an uncontested divorce in New York, the spouses can agree to use the amount of child support that is calculated using the child support guidelines; and they are also allowed to agree to use a different amount for child support that is higher or lower than the guideline amount.

What are the grounds for a divorce in New York?
New York has "fault" and "no-fault" divorce grounds (legally acceptable reasons) to end a marriage.

Cruel and inhuman treatment. The cruel and inhuman treatment of the plaintiff by the defendant such that the conduct of the defendant so endangers the physical or mental well being of the plaintiff as renders it unsafe or improper for the plaintiff to cohabit with the defendant.

Abandonment. The abandonment of the plaintiff by the defendant for a period of one or more years.

Confinement in prison. The confinement of the defendant in prison for a period of three or more consecutive years after the marriage of plaintiff and defendant.

Adultery.

Oral sexual conduct and anal sexual conduct include, but are not limited to, sexual conduct as defined in subdivision two of section 130.00 and subdivision three of section 130.20 of the penal law.

Separation for more than one year pursuant to a decree or judgment of separation. The husband and wife have lived apart pursuant to a decree or judgment of separation for a period of one or more years after the granting of such decree or judgment, and satisfactory proof has been submitted by the plaintiff that he or she has substantially performed all the terms and conditions of such decree or judgment.

Separation for more than one year pursuant to a written agreement of separation. The husband and wife have lived separate and apart pursuant to a written agreement of separation, subscribed by the parties thereto and acknowledged or proved in the form required to entitle a deed to be recorded, for a period of one or more years after the execution of such agreement and satisfactory proof has been submitted by the plaintiff that he or she has substantially performed all the terms and conditions of such agreement. Such agreement shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the county wherein either party resides. In lieu of filing such agreement, either party to such agreement may file a memorandum of such agreement, which memorandum shall be similarly subscribed and acknowledged or proved as was the agreement of separation and shall contain the following information: (a) the names and addresses of each of the parties, (b) the date of marriage of the parties, (c) the date of the agreement of separation and (d) the date of this subscription and acknowledgment or proof of such agreement of separation.

Irretrievable breakdown of marriage for at least six months. The relationship between husband and wife has broken down irretrievably for a period of at least six months, provided that one party has so stated under oath. No judgment of divorce shall be granted under this subdivision unless and until the economic issues of equitable distribution of marital property, the payment or waiver of spousal support, the payment of child support, the payment of counsel and experts' fees and expenses as well as the custody and visitation with the infant children of the marriage have been resolved by the parties, or determined by the court and incorporated into the judgment of divorce.
How to file an uncontested
divorce in New York
without a lawyer?
How to file an uncontested divorce in New York without a lawyer?
In New York, the basic steps to file for an uncontested divorce without a lawyer begin by determining if you meet the New York residency requirement. The next step is to fill out the "Verified Complaint for Divorce". Then, file the complaint with the Clerk of the Supreme Court in the county where your divorce is being filed and pay the required filing fee. Notify your spouse about the divorce filing by serving them with a copy of the divorce papers. If you and your spouse both agree on all of the issues concerning your divorce, you can draft a "Judgment of Divorce" and file it with the court. If everything is in order, the judge can approve and grant your divorce, and sign the Judgment of Divorce.
