New York is a no-fault divorce state and you don't need proof of adultery- or any grounds- to file for divorce. You need to have been married in New York and meet other residency requirements, and you can file for divorce. It's impossible to say what you're entitled to without knowing the entire financial situation but generally, you're entitled to half of all marital assets. That includes anything that was acquired during the marriage, including pension contributions. The best thing to do is contact an attorney.
