- Q. Do I have to live w/ my spouse for a no-fault divorce in NYC?
- A: The "no-fault" divorce statute requires a marraige to have been irretrevably broken for 6 months or more so you can not use those grounds prior to 6 months. It is irrelevant whether you live together or not. You should always have a stipulation of settlement to spell out the details of the divorce. Talk to a lawyer. Understand that to get an uncontested divorce without going before a judge, you will need his cooperation.
- Q. So in new york does a spouse have rights to elective share of a home that was quit claim deeded once wife passes
- A: A right of election gives a spouse a right to disregard a will provision and receive a share of the estate of a deceased spouse as if there was no will. This prevents a spouse from not providing for their legal spouse in a will.
- Q. I have a visitation order and would like to know if the order applies to holidays as well.
- A: If there is no provision for holiday visitation and no court order, then the regular schedule remains even during holidays.
