Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: grounds for divorce

First you should retain an attorney. Then it should be determined if you can contact your husband and if he will consent to a divorce. These factors will determine the ease and cost of such a solution. You may contact my office for a consultation @718 834-0087.

Re: grounds for divorce

This is a far more common situation than you probably imagine. I have two (2) such cases I am working on now - one of which will be successfully completed next Friday. The other is just starting and will take another 60 days.

This situation (where the spouse cannot be found after a long period of time) is not difficult, but it is time consuming. The method prescribed by the Law is 'service by publication'. Everything else in the documents is standard.

You are welcome to a consultation at no fee at my offices at 42 west 44th st., NY,NY. Please call for an appointment first. (646) 591-5786

Re: grounds for divorce

To give you a nice and short answer, Yes it is recommended that you retain an attorney to guide you through this process. This should be taken care of as soon as practical considering that in your case if you decide to remarry this issue will just get even more complicated on you and your significant other. If you would like a free consultation on this matter feel free to call directly at (718) 651-5283.

Re: grounds for divorce

You do need a "legal" divorce. You can get one on the ground of abandonment. You should consult with a lawyer. If you do not know where your spouse is, you may have to serve the papers by publication in a newspaper which requires a court order.

Re: grounds for divorce

If you would want to remarry, you would need a divorce, unless you can prove that your husband has died. In your circumstance getting a divorce is relatively simple.
