===Irretrievable breakdown (no fault)=== Since 2010, a new ground has been added, effectively permitting no-fault divorce in New York state: * The relationship between husband and wife has broken down irretrievably for a period of at least six months ([[Domestic Relations Law|DRL]] §170.7) The parties may also disagree over [[child support]], [[child custody|custody]], [[alimony]], [[division of property|division of joint assets]] or who is going to pay legal fees. These are known as "ancillary relief" ([[#Ancillary issues|see below]]) that are requested by one or both of the parties. No judgment of divorce may be granted under the no fault ground unless and until the economic issues of equitable distribution of marital property, the payment or waiver of spousal support, the payment of child support, the payment of counsel and experts’ fees and expenses as well as the custody and visitation with the minor children of the marriage have been resolved by the parties, or determined by the court, and incorporated into the judgment of divorce.<ref>N.Y. Dom. Rel. Law § 170(7).</ref>
