Who is "she"? What do you mean "has been sentenced in favor of this mother"?

I believe that you have incomplete information from this woman to whom you refer, as if your scenario about the husband cooperating were true, in NYS she would have been divorced by now.

She apparently needs an attorney to help her if it has taken so long and she is still not divorced.
