Hi:
I believe you have to be a resident of NY at least six months to a year before commencing an action for divorce.
Good Luck

Re: Divorce in NY
If your divorce meets one of the requirements under NY law for a divorce, you can file for a divorce now.
Some of the requirements are: The parties' were married in NY; adultery; abandonment; cruely; and in prison.
NY, however, also requires that you have lived in NY for a period of at least two years before you file for a divorce unless you were married in NY.

Re: Divorce in NY
It depends on several factors. To meet the residency requirements you have to have lived in NYS for a year and either you were married here, the grounds for divorce arose here or the two of you lived here. Otherwise, you have to have lived in NYS for two years.
