Online divorce in Rochester

For Rochester couples, the online part of an online divorce is the preparation: gathering your financial picture, completing the forms accurately, and assembling the packet. Filing still happens through the Supreme Court (New York’s trial court) in your area, and your court's clerk sets the rules for e-filing, fees, and hearings.

No-fault divorce in New York

No-fault means nobody's on trial. A Rochester filer states the marriage is irretrievably broken and moves on. Every state provides some form of no-fault divorce, though the exact language and any required separation or waiting period differ from state to state — check New York's rules before you file.

Divorce questions from Rochester filers

How long do I have to live in New York before filing?
Every state sets a residency requirement you must meet before you can file, and some counties add their own wrinkles. Confirm New York's current requirement with the Supreme Court (New York’s trial court) clerk serving Rochester before you start — filing too early is an easy way to get your case tossed.
Can I get a no-fault divorce in Rochester if we agree on everything?
Yes — that's exactly what an uncontested no-fault divorce is. You state the marriage is irretrievably broken, you and your spouse sign a settlement agreement, and the Supreme Court (New York’s trial court) finalizes it. Agreement is what keeps it simple and cheap.
Do I need a lawyer to file in Rochester?
Not for a straightforward uncontested case — filing pro se is legal in New York. But if you disagree about custody or property, there's a business or pension involved, or there's any history of abuse, talk to a licensed New York family law attorney.
