Grounds for Divorce in New York

New York Divorce Law
What are the grounds for divorce in New York?

If you are a resident of the state of New York, four of the grounds in New York divorce law are based on "fault" of one of the parties. They are:

1) cruel and inhuman treatment;
2) abandonment for one or more years;
3) imprisonment for three or more consecutive years;
4) adultery (which can include "deviant sexual intercourse").

The only ground that doesn't call for one party to be at fault is one year living apart under either a separation agreement or a separation decree granted by a court. This is the closest thing New York divorce law has to a "no-fault" ground for divorce.
