When Abandonment is Grounds for Divorce in New York
Couples proceeding with uncontested divorce often agree to consent to one of the common grounds for divorce. When both spouses agree, we can move forward with an expedited complaint for divorce, including emotional abandonment, constructive abandonment, and other abandonment issues.
Our experienced and efficient abandonment divorce lawyers at Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP have helped many clients reach agreements on grounds for divorce such as abandonment or constructive abandonment. Sometimes a separation agreement is accomplished before the necessary year goes by preliminary to an abandonment argument in support of a New York divorce.
Thanks to changes in divorce law in 2010, couples can now file for a New York no-fault divorce. While you can still file for an abandonment divorce, it is no longer necessary for both parties to agree to a common ground.

Explanation of Abandonment, Grounds for Divorce
Couples approaching divorce have often been in a state of estrangement or growing apart for some time. If one party left the marital home a year previous to commencement of the action without reason, provocation or consent, abandonment can be stated as the grounds for divorce. Grounds of abandonment divorce may involve one spouse's move away accompanied by the other spouse's "unjustified refusal to relocate" together. The spouse who remained in the marital home could be said to be the one who abandoned the marriage by changing the locks when the other left.
