Hi !
Welcome To The New York Divorce Navigator
Hey there! Are you a DIY client?
If you are going to be filing and serving these documents yourself, you can find instructions here.
Step 1: Complaint, Summons, and Initial Filings
As the Plaintiff (spouse filing for divorce), you’ll start by filing the Complaint, Summons, and other initial forms.
For this section, you’ll need to know what issues will be decided in your final agreement. Click here to learn more.
Step 2: Financial Disclosures
This step does not divide anything, but gives you and your spouse each others' financial information to help determine how assets should be divided. You will be providing information on assets, debts, income, and expenses.
The forms created in this step are exchanged directly between spouses and will then be filed with Step 3.
Step 3: Judgment and Agreement Forms
In this final step, you will enter the terms of your divorce agreement with your spouse. Asset division, spousal maintenance, child support and custody, and other requests will be confirmed in this step.
If you need help with this step, we have mediators, attorneys, or financial planners available at a flat hourly rate.
