Frequently Asked Questions

---

How long does a divorce take in Nassau County?
Uncontested divorces typically take 3 to 6 months. Contested cases may take 12 to 18 months or longer depending on the issues involved.

Where are Nassau County divorce cases filed?
Divorce actions are filed at the Nassau County Clerk's Office at 240 Old Country Road in Mineola, and matrimonial cases are heard at the Nassau County Matrimonial Center at 101 County Seat Drive, Mineola.

Does New York divide marital property equally?
New York follows equitable distribution, meaning courts divide marital property fairly — not necessarily 50/50. Factors include length of marriage, each spouse's financial contributions, and future earning capacity.

What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all key terms. A contested divorce involves disputes over property, support, or custody that require negotiation or court intervention.

Can I modify a divorce agreement after it is finalized?
Yes. Child support, custody, and certain support arrangements can be modified when there is a documented, substantial change in circumstances.

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce in Nassau County?
While not legally required, an attorney ensures your agreement is properly drafted, legally binding, and fully protects your interests before you sign anything.
