As a general rule, the death of one party during the pendency of a divorce action causes the action to abate because the martial relationship between the parties sought to be dissolved no longer exists. See Cornell v. Cornell, 7 NY2d 164, (N.Y. 1959), motion to amend remittitur granted, 7 NY2d 987 (N.Y. 1960). The rationale for this rule is that the cause of action for a divorce is personal to a party. See Peterson v. Goldberg, 180 AD2d 260 (2nd Dept. 1992).
