No matter where you are in the process—starting an action (beginning), hiring or changing attorneys midway (middle), or post-divorce (end)—we can help in the dissolution of your marriage or enforcement of your divorce terms.
Contested & Uncontested Divorce
We handle both uncontested and contested divorces. An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all aspects of their divorce—including division of assets, alimony, child support, and custody. These cases can often be resolved efficiently with the right guidance.
Contested divorces, on the other hand, arise when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues. In these cases, we develop a clear strategy for settlement or, if necessary, trial. You will receive step-by-step guidance so you always know what to expect, whether through negotiation or courtroom litigation.
Property & Debt Division
Divorces in New York are largely economically driven. The equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities—including property, retirement accounts, and debts—can quickly become complex. Our attorneys ensure that all relevant financial issues are addressed thoroughly and in accordance with current laws, keeping your case focused on the issues that matter most.
Mediation & Collaborative Options
Not every divorce needs to be a battle. Mediation and collaborative divorce provide lower-conflict pathways to resolution, tailored to your goals and circumstances. These options can help reduce costs, preserve privacy, and allow couples to reach fair agreements outside of court.
Divorce Agreements
Most lawsuits settle before trial, and divorces are no different. In New York, “no fault” divorce means couples no longer need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. However, all financial and child-related issues must be resolved before a judge can finalize the divorce. A settlement or separation agreement addresses these issues comprehensively and creates a binding, enforceable contract. We work closely with clients to craft agreements that cover all necessary rights and obligations.
Divorce Trials & Litigation
When spouses cannot agree, a judge must decide. Divorce trials involve witness testimony, expert opinions, and documentary evidence presented formally in court. Our attorneys prepare diligently so you are fully informed, supported, and vigorously represented during trial.
Client-Centered Approach
Every divorce is unique. We take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and prioritize your needs. With open communication and personalized support, we keep you informed and engaged throughout the legal process.
