Mutual Consent Divorce in New York
When both spouses agree on everything and there are no children under 21, this is the simplest path — and you can prepare the papers yourselves.
What a mutual consent divorce means
A mutual (or "joint") consent divorce is an uncontested New York divorce where both spouses agree on every issue — there is nothing to fight over and no children under 21. New York grants it on the no-fault ground (an irretrievable breakdown of at least six months). Because nothing is contested, you don't need a courtroom battle; you just need the papers prepared correctly.What it costs and how long it takes
Court filing fees run about $335. Our tool prepares your full personalized packet for a $99 flat fee. Most uncontested cases finish in about 3–6 months — New York has no fixed waiting period, but the court won't finalize until everything is resolved (which, when you both agree, it already is).Divorce on Consent is a self-help document-preparation tool, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. Using this tool does not create an attorney–client relationship. For legal advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed New York attorney.
