My Rochester Divorce Attorney Wants Me To File A No-Fault Divorce, But My Spouse Cheated. What Should I Do?

Using the no-fault grounds, called Irretrievable Breakdown in New York, is likely to be your fastest and most cost effective path to a divorce, even if your spouse is at fault because of infidelity.

It may feel like you’re missing a chance to have a judge ratify the case against your spouse, but the truth is that proving adultery in New York is very complicated and costly, and it gets you little in return.

Winning a divorce on adultery grounds usually won’t have much impact on the final divorce settlement, and the expenses of building and proving the case may actually cost you money in the long run.

Your attorney is giving you good advice, but if you believe that your concerns aren’t being listened to or taken seriously, you can always seek out a second opinion.

At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we offer legal consultations to people who are considering their options at the end of a marriage.

Call us today at 585-484-7432 and talk to an experienced Rochester divorce lawyer for free.
