A Verified Complaint for Divorce in New York is a formal legal document filed by the spouse seeking a divorce. It outlines the grounds for divorce, whether based on fault or no-fault (such as irretrievable breakdown of the marriage for at least six months). The complaint also includes key information, such as marital assets, debts, children, and any requests for spousal support or child custody arrangements. The verification section is where the filer swears under oath that the statements made in the complaint are true. This document is the first step in initiating the divorce process and must be filed with the court.
