Form UD-4 Sworn Statement of Removal of Barriers to Remarriage

A Sworn Statement of Removal of Barriers to Remarriage is an official form that proves the plaintiff’s promise to take all actions in their power to eliminate any obstacles to the defendant’s remarriage after divorce. The final divorce judgment will not be granted if the case initiator fails to carry out this promise and provide a sworn statement about that.

The New York Domestic Relations Law mandates the plaintiff to take all possible actions to remove any barriers to the other party’s remarriage if the couple had a religious wedding ceremony (NY Dom Rel Law § 253). Although no specific religion is referenced in particular, the statute is mostly directed at the Jewish community, whose law necessitates religious divorce in addition to a civil one to have an opportunity to remarry.
