New York City Divorce Lawyer Ryan Besinque Explains the Ease and Relative Speed of a No-Fault Divorce

Nov 18, 2022

November 18, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - New York City divorce lawyer Ryan Besinque (https://www.besinquelaw.com/do-you-have-to-be-separated-for-a-year-to-get-a-divorce-in-ny/) releases a new article explaining the ease and relative speed of no-fault divorce in New York. The lawyer mentions that historically, the divorce process in New York has been a lengthy and costly procedure. Because New York was once a fault-based divorce state, one spouse had to allege the other was at fault for the divorce under specific grounds.

“In a traditional fault-based divorce, one spouse not only had to blame the other for the breakdown of the marriage, but they also had to prove it. Litigation and fault-finding often made divorce far more acrimonious, time-consuming, and expensive than it needed to be, often leading to extensive New York City divorce lawyer fees,” the New York City divorce lawyer says.

The lawyer explains that while other fault-based grounds have not been eliminated and some couples still use them, divorcing spouses in New York can now take advantage of no-fault divorce. In a no-fault divorce, there is no need for defense by the other partner. A divorce will be granted as long as all the other issues are resolved.

Attorney Ryan Besinque adds that child support, child custody, property distribution, and spousal support must be agreed upon by both parties before a divorce will be allowed. The divorce can also be contested or uncontested, depending on the couple’s agreement or disagreement regarding the aforementioned issues.

In the article, attorney Besinque says, “Although fault-based divorces are still used, these types of divorces are becoming rarer. With the availability of no-fault divorces, the process is more expeditious and less expensive than the traditional fault-based options. And without the need for fault-finding and proof of the other spouse’s bad behavior, couples are often able to communicate more civilly with one another and co-parent their children more cooperatively.”

Lastly, attorney Besinque says that if someone is considering divorce in New York, it is important to seek the help of an experienced divorce lawyer. Having a skilled lawyer may be able to help potential clients understand their rights and responsibilities in a divorce case.
