What Are the Grounds for Divorce in New York?

In the state of New York, there are several grounds for seeking a divorce. These include:

Irretrievable Breakdown: If a couple has been living apart continuously for at least six months and both parties agree to seek a divorce, this is known as an “irretrievable breakdown” and can be used as a ground for divorce.
Cruel and Inhuman Treatment: A spouse can be divorced if they have subjected their partner to "cruel and inhuman treatment" which is endangering their health or safety. To qualify as grounds for divorce, this cruelty must have occurred within the past five years.
Abandonment: Legally, abandonment occurs when one spouse completely disregards their marital obligations for more than one year due to incarceration or absenteeism.
Adultery: In New York, adultery can be used as grounds for divorce if one partner has had sexual relations outside of the marriage before filing.
