Thanks to recent laws, New York has now become a no-fault state like Connecticut. This reform in the law has made it easier for couples who are looking to file as it gives them a chance to file without looking for reasons. Before, when there had to be grounds for divorce (such as infidelity) the process became drawn out and unfortunately a place where perjury ran amuck. This, however, is no longer is the case.
