Is This Kit Right for You?
New York has strict residency rules (1 or 2 years). Check below to see if you qualify to file.
Use this kit if:
- ✓ One of you has lived in NY for at least 2 years (or 1 year if married here).
- ✓ Your marriage has been broken for at least 6 months (Irretrievable Breakdown).
- ✓ Your spouse will sign the Affidavit of Defendant (UD-7) or default.
- ✓ You agree on all property, debt, and custody issues.
Talk to a lawyer if:
- ✕ You have lived in NY for less than 1 year.
- ✕ Your spouse is contesting the divorce (files an Answer).
- ✕ You need the court to decide child support or alimony.
- ✕ You have complex assets (pensions, real estate) without an agreement.
Why Choose a DIY Kit?
The NY Courts website gives you the forms, but the instructions are 40+ pages long. Mistakes on the Affidavit of Service (UD-3) or the Child Support Worksheet (UD-8) are the top reasons for rejection. Our kit simplifies the "UD" packet.
Save Thousands
NY lawyers typically charge $2,500 - $5,000 for uncontested cases. Our kit is a one-time fee of $129.

Frequently Asked Questions
“What is the UD-Packet?”
The Uncontested Divorce Packet (UD-Forms) is the set of standardized forms approved by the NY Unified Court System. It includes the Summons (UD-1), Complaint (UD-2), Affidavits (UD-6/7), and Judgment (UD-11).
“How much are the court fees?”
You typically pay two main fees: $210 for the Index Number (to start the case) and $125 for the Note of Issue (to request the judge's review). Total court fees are usually around $335.
“What is the Affidavit of Plaintiff?”
Form UD-6 is your sworn statement to the court. Since there is no trial in an uncontested divorce, this document tells your story and proves the legal grounds (Irretrievable Breakdown) for the divorce.
“Do I have to go to court?”
In most uncontested cases in NY, you do not need to appear in court. If your paperwork is correct, the judge reviews the file in their chambers and signs the Judgment of Divorce (UD-11) without a hearing.
