Most juridictions require separation for a specified period before granting a divorce. There are notable exceptions, and New York state does not have a "no-fault" divorce law. Most states waive or reduce the period for "At Fault" divorces involving crime, abuse, or adultery. (see related link for general information)

∙ 12y ago(in the US) SOME states MAY mandate this requirement in law, but many others do NOT. More often than not a separation is a voluntary trial between the husband and wife to establish a cooling off period and/or determine if they really DO want a divorce, however it may not be required. Check the statutes in your own state.

Many states have a quick divorce process for couples married a short time and without children.
California, for example, has a summary dissolution process for marriages of less than 5 years, without dependent children, and meeting certain other requirements. This type of divorce requires a legal petition rather than court appearances.
You might also consider moving to Nevada for a couple of months.

∙ 13y agoThe answer depends on your jurisdiction. In the US, one party cannot prevent the other from obtaining a divorce. Few jurisdictions in the Western World, if any, give that degree of power to one individual over another. One unreasonable spouse can make the divorce process more difficult and expensive but they cannot prevent it.

After signing the legal papers for divorce can a spouse change his mind when going to court?
Yes and no. You are always welcome to change your mind about the legal proceeding you are entering into. However, when it comes to divorce, if the other party still wants to go through with the proceeding even though you have changed your mind, then the divorce will be granted with or without your consent. Although it may complicate things, if your spouse wants the divorce the court is not going to keep him or her in the marriage contract.
