Does New York have a collaborative divorce statute like Connecticut’s?

No. Unlike Connecticut, New York has not enacted the Uniform Collaborative Law Act, so collaborative divorce in New York operates through a private contractual participation agreement rather than a dedicated state statute. This does not make the process any less real or binding — the participation agreement the parties and their attorneys sign is an enforceable contract, and collaborative practice is well established in New York. It simply means the framework comes from the agreement itself and professional practice standards rather than from a statute.
