Yes, you can file for divorce even if your spouse wants to work things out.
In New York, you can’t be forced to remain married to someone, and your spouse won’t succeed by contesting the action on the grounds of, “But I don’t want to get a divorce.”
Cases where a spouse isn’t ready for divorce usually go one of two ways.
In the first, the spouse decides to cooperate, and you have a productive and relatively easy uncontested divorce. In the second, the spouse is furious that you’ve unilaterally taken this step, and decides to make the divorce as difficult as possible for you.
Protect yourself. The experienced Rochester divorce attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can make sure that you – and the issues that matter to you – are shielded from the worst of a divorce.
