Most people who decide to divorce in New York make avoiding costly litigation a central priority, and taking advantage of the recent passage of a law enabling no-fault divorce is one step toward that end. In August 2010, New York became the last U.S. state to allow divorce without the necessity of either living apart for a full year or one spouse proving grounds for divorce such as adultery, cruelty or abandonment.
