Filing Divorce In Ny

Summary

Filing for divorce in New York requires separate paperwork, even if you have already filed for child support. You need to purchase an Index Number, prepare the necessary forms, notify your spouse, and file the forms with the court. If you are already receiving child support, you may not need to fill out those specific forms again. However, it is advisable to confirm this with the New York State court clerk or a legal advisor to ensure all legal procedures are correctly followed. Consulting a legal advisor or your local court clerk can provide the most accurate advice based on your specific circumstances.
