[NY] How do I file for divorce?
Okay. Then you file the required forms, per the state's instructions:

File the forms, pay the filing fee, and need to serve your spouse. If there is a need for a temporary hearing, that can be requested at the time you file. That would be a hearing for any issues that need to be ruled on for the pendency of the divorce: bills, living arrangements, or anything else you need.

I want to file for divorce.

Are there any children involved in the marriage that will need to be considered during the divorce process?

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your divorce.
