You could possibly sue for "abandonment" depending on the time frame involved (it must be for a year or more). Also, NY has not only fault but also no-fault grounds for divorce. However, if you are seeking a no-fault divorce, you must prove that you have resolved all your divorce-related issues (i.e. property, spousal support and/or child support/custody) before the court will grant a divorce.
