Answer

Unfortunately, you have two choices: wait for another 7 months – until you have lived in NY for a full year – to commence the action. The second choice is to sue your husband for cruel and inhuman treatment. In order to secure a divorce on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment, its not enough to show you have quarreled and have been incompatible. You must show serious misconduct on his part. The shorter the marriage the less misconduct or less gravity of misconduct will need to be shown to obtain a divorce. 8 years is considered a short marriage (I have been married for 4 years so that 8 years seems like a long time to me). You should seriously think about alternatives – such as a divorce on consent, separation, or getting divorced in another jurisdiction.
