 New York Residency Requirements

Under New York law an action to annul a marriage, or to declare the nullity of a void marriage, or for divorce or separation when one or both of the parties is a resident of the State of New York for a particular period of time as specified by statute. See DRL § 230

An action may be maintained to annul a marriage, or to declare the nullity of a void marriage, or for divorce or separation may be maintained only when one of the following event is satisfied (note you only need to satisfy one):
  • The parties were married in the state and either party is a resident thereof when the action is commenced and has been a resident for a continuous period of one year immediately preceding, or
  • The parties have resided in this state as husband and wife and either party is a resident thereof when the action is commenced and has been a resident for a continuous period of one year immediately preceding, or
  • The cause occurred in the state and either party has been a resident thereof for a continuous period of at least one year immediately preceding the commencement of the action, or
  • The cause occurred in the state and both parties are residents thereof at the time of the commencement of the action, or
  • Either party has been a resident of the state for a continuous period of at least two years immediately preceding the commencement of the action.
