The New York State laws regarding divorce differ from those in other state, mainly that the Supreme Court must grant the divorce in order for it to be valid. In 2010, New York became the last state to recognize no-fault divorces. No-fault divorces identify that the relationship between husband and wife has been broken down for a period of at least six months with no chance to recover.
