DeWitt, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/03/2014 --CNY Law Center advises troubled couples who want to file for divorce to look for a knowledgeable and experienced family law and divorce attorney in New York, which has one of the lowest divorce rates in the United States.

Recent reports suggest that New York has the second lowest annual divorce rate in the country behind New Jersey with 7 per a thousand residents divorcing every year.
