When New York was exclusively a fault state, sometimes a party could prevent a divorce if the Plaintiff was unable to prove grounds. Given the fact that New York has become a No Fault Divorce State, if you want the divorce, it is virtually certain that the divorce will happen so long as the issues of the marriage have been resolved by agreement or by trial. All you will have to prove is that the relationship between you and your spouse has broken down irretrievably for a period of at least six months, provided that you so state under oath.
