More details to this question:
I am moving to New York and want to file for divorce after the 2 year residency requirement. I am a U.S. citizen, was married in England, and have been living in Ireland since 1998. One child will still be under 18 when I file for divorce, and he continues to live with his mother in Ireland. Question 1: If I now agree to a separation agreement in Ireland, will this complicate matters when filing for divorce in New York. Question 2: Will there be any significant issue regarding child custody if I initiate the divorce in New York, while my son will continue to live with his mother in Ireland? Thank you for your help

The separation agreement may indeed complicate things, depending, of course, upon what it is that is stated in the agreement. However, under some circumstances it could prove to be an advantage.
