In New York, if you are still legally married, you must finalize your divorce before remarrying. The timeline for your divorce depends on several factors, including whether both parties agree on the division of assets. For an uncontested divorce (where both spouses agree on property division and other terms), the process can take as little as 3 to 6 months, depending on court processing times. For a contested divorce (where there are disputes over assets like your shared apartment), the process can take a year or more, especially if court intervention is needed to resolve property division. New York follows equitable distribution laws, meaning the court will divide property fairly, though not necessarily equally. If you and your spouse can negotiate and settle on a division outside of court, this will significantly speed up the process. You cannot legally remarry until your divorce is finalized. 📞 If you need assistance navigating your divorce and ensuring a fair division of property, contact one of our experienced divorce attorneys today.
