Judges will not automatically grant a divorce because a party desires it.
Grounds are the most infrequently litigated issue in a matrimonial case.
There are two methods by which you can become separated from your spouse. The first is a court action commenced in the State Supreme Court. The Plaintiff in such an action must have grounds for a separation that are the same as those for a divorce. In addition, there is an additional ground for separation, which is the defendant neglecting or refusing to provide adequate support to the movant or to the children. The action for Separation is commenced by, the filing of a Summons and Complaint and then moving forward with a court action in front of a judge.
