New York (46)

Filing fee: $335

Minimum processing time: 360 days

Divorce rate: 7

The divorce trade served as bread and butter for New York's private eyes through 2010, when the Empire State became the nation's last state to embrace no-fault divorce.

The state has a low marriage rate and the country's second-lowest divorce rate, with a correspondingly high median age for first marriage, at 29.5.
