New York City Divorce Attorney Richard Shum Explains the Factors that Contribute to the Length of the Divorce Process

New York City divorce attorney Richard Shum (https://www.romanshum.com/blog/how-long-does-a-divorce-take-in-new-york/) releases a new article explaining the factors that contribute to the length of a divorce process in New York. The lawyer mentions that going through a divorce can be emotional and very stressful. Especially when there are children involved, a divorce can have a deep psychological and personal impact on all parties.

“Not all divorces have to be contentious or dragged out, there are options that a couple seeking to divorce can explore to have a more amicable, and easy divorce. Having the assistance of an experienced New York City divorce attorney should help make the legal processes surrounding a divorce more efficient,” the New York City divorce attorney says.

The lawyer explains that divorce mediation is one of the factors that can contribute to the length of a divorce. Divorce mediation is the process of consulting a professional to discuss each spouse’s needs regarding the divorce. A mediator can help facilitate the discussion between the spouses and help them cooperate in discussing the terms of the divorce.

Attorney Richard Shum says that New York divorce can fall under many different grounds. A couple may also have the option to go for a no-fault divorce if their marriage has broken down irretrievable for at least six months. In this kind of divorce, a separation agreement is not required. The allegation that the marriage has broken down is enough.

In the article, attorney Shum adds, “If you and your spouse have been legally separated for a year through a binding separation agreement, you may be able to directly convert the agreement into a divorce. To obtain a judgment of divorce through separation, you will need to prove to the court that you and your spouse have followed the terms of the separation agreement for more than a year.”

Lastly, the divorce lawyer emphasizes that having an uncontested divorce lawyer can help the couple ensure they have all the legal support they need when it comes to determining the best child support order for their family. A skilled attorney can help the couple draft their agreements and make sure that the agreement is legally enforceable.
