BILL NUMBER: S169
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the domestic relations law, in relation to grounds for
an action for divorce
SUMMARY :
This bill would add a new subdivision 7 to section 170 of the domestic
relations law. This bill would allow that an action for divorce may be
maintained by a husband or wife to procure a judgement divorcing the
parties and dissolving the parties and dissolving the marriage upon
final conviction of a class A felony; and/or a class B or C violent
felony as defined in section 70.02 of the penal law; and/or the final
conviction of the defendant for a felony sex offense as defined in
article one hundred thirty of the penal law.
JUSTIFICATION :
Grounds for divorce in New York are purely statutory. The grounds in
which a divorce may be granted have not been expanded since 1966.
Under current law, a spouse may file for divorce on the ground of
imprisonment, only after their spouse has been imprisoned for three
years. This provision would allow the non imprisoned spouse the option
of filing for divorce upon the defendant spouse's conviction of the
aforementioned felony offense(s).
