Divorce and Family Law

UNCONTESTED AND CONTESTED DIVORCE

We understand that divorce can be extremely painful, so we provide you with a much needed, compassionate legal lifeline.  Major issues include custody and child support, allocations of assets such as a marital residence, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and lastly, liabilities such as credit card debt and mortgages.  When a divorcing couple cannot agree on all of the major issues listed above, the divorce is classified as contested. We cover the whole spectrum of divorce cases; whether you need us to aggressively fight for your interests in the most embittered of divorce cases or you simply need representation in an amicable parting with your spouse, we are here to bring you creative, personalized, and effective counsel.

EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION

In New York, property is divided equitably when a couple divorces. This does not guarantee an equal division of your assets and debts. An equitable property division is one that the Court determines as fair, considering what each spouse contributed to the marriage and what each spouse will need to move forward. We will advocate for you and ensure that your contribution and needs are fully considered in the final settlement. Defend your financial future by calling us or filling in the contact form below to schedule your free consultation.

CHILD SUPPORT AND CUSTODY

Our passion is to ensure the well-being of families; we do so by wielding ironclad legal arguments in the court of law. If you are suffering from limitations on your parenting time or an inability to support your family, call or email us to schedule your free consultation. You can move forward knowing that you have a family lawyer on your side who cares about you, and who is dedicated to showing you that the law is meant to protect you.

If your parental rights are being neglected and you are being denied access to your child, work with us so that we can fight for you and preserve the special bond with your child.

If your partner is denying you the support you need to raise your child, we can use the full weight of the law to maximize what you are owed as a parent. As a client, your interests are our interests, and we are willing to fight tooth and nail to get you what you and your child are entitled to.

If you need child support, custody, or visitation, schedule your free consultation by filling out the form below or calling our office.
