A Judgment of Divorce in New York is the final legal Order issued by the Court that officially ends a marriage. It typically follows a Stipulation of Settlement, and it formalizes the dissolution of the marital relationship.
Mainly, the Judgment of Divorce resolves all relevant issues between the parties, such as: division of marital property and debts, child custody and visitation arrangements, child support and spousal maintenance. Once the Judgment of Divorce is signed by the judge, the marriage is legally dissolved.
