The simple reason is that the New York Courts have a very heavy case load and very few Judges to go through that case load. Even in a simple uncontested divorce, there are several documents that are submitted to the Court. The Court needs to review each of the documents before it will grant you a divorce.

An uncontested and amicable divorce is the quickest way to file for divorce. With an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse agree on all the major marital issues, like property division, child custody, and spousal support.
Some uncontested divorces are resolved as quickly as six weeks, while others can take six months or more. Since New York does not have a waiting period, a divorce that both parties agree on takes roughly 3 months for the papers to be filed with the court.
If you have a good Settlement Agreement, file it with the divorce forms. A Settlement Agreement includes how you will divide the property, spousal and child support, and other important decisions. A settlement agreement helps you avoid trips to court and have a faster, less expensive divorce.
