How long must I reside in New York before I can begin my divorce action?
An action for divorce may be maintained only when:
- The husband and wife were married in New York, and either of them is a resident of New York when the action is begun and has been a resident of New York for a continuous period of one year immediately before the commencement of the action, or
- The parties have resided in New York as husband and wife, and either of them is a resident of New York when the action is begun and has been a resident of New York for a continuous period of one year immediately preceding the beginning of the action, or
- The grounds for divorce occurred in New York, and either party has been a resident of New York for a continuous period of at least one year immediately before the beginning of the action, or
- The grounds for divorce occurred in New York, and both parties are residents of New York at the time of the commencement of the action, or
- Either spouse has been a resident of New York for a continuous period of at least two years immediately preceding the commencement of the action.
