Is there a law on how long you have to be seperated before a divoce? How long is the divoce process? Is it just as long as the 2 sides can come to a compromise of the property?

In NY you need to be separated for 1 year unless one of you takes fault for the divorce - i.e. admit or show proof of adultry or other qualifying infraction.

Thank YOu. My stbx wants a divorce and I am trying to think of what reason he is going to give. This ought to be fun! Neither of us had an affair. I guess I will find out soon enough.

There's also "Constructive Abandonment" as a reason fior a divorce, without the year's separation required. If one of you "withholds sex" for a year (and how that gets defined or proven may be the intriguing mystery), then that's grounds for an immediate divorce.

Well, he didn't with hold for a year, but he never really wanted it.

Interesting. My wife withheld for a year and a half, even though she claims that she wanted it.
Go figure.

If they did or they didn't--how could you tell the difference?

I have the same question---If there is agreement about property distribution, how long should the divorce process take? AND--can we use ONE lawyer since we agree on everything?

Rosey,
There's also mediation, if you're substantially in agreement with your stbx.

Umm...yeah. I think you New York people need new hobbies.
BTW have you ever had soda come out your nose? It is actually quite painful(yep I've done it) and I think that's kind of mean of you actually!
MEAN New Yorkers ;)

It means "Laughiung Until My Soda Comes Out My Nose"
And you're right, soda does hurt. I was originally going to reference "milk," but that just seemed so...juvenile!
My original goal was to have been "To take over...THE WORLD! (Mwu ha ha!)" But I figured no one would want to talk to me, then...

You want an idea or need an idea? Here is one that most people use in New York; Constructive abandonment. It's a nice one! Gets used more often than you think.
Oh in case you didn't know its when you cut your partner off from sex for at least a year!
I did that to my ex. he wanted other grounds, but I got the constructive abandonment.
yeppie for me, but lost the rest of my life
