New York City Divorce Attorney
Top-Rated Divorce Representation in New York City
As one of the most stressful experiences a family can go through, divorce should only be handled with the assistance of a qualified divorce attorney in New York City. The important decisions which one must make relative to assets, child custody, and support can have an impact on the rest of the family’s life.
The Benefits of Hiring a Lawyer vs. Representing Yourself
If you are not familiar with the divorce process, it may be extremely difficult for you to accurately fill out paperwork, take the necessary steps to protect yourself, and follow court procedure. In the end, it can actually be much more expensive to represent yourself rather than working with an experienced attorney who will handle all your legal issues accurately.
The life of a divorce case can take unexpected twists and turns, involving issues such as:
Motions for contempt for non-compliance of the court's orders, and motions to modify existing orders of support or custody due to substantial changes in your circumstances may all be necessary actions when you are involved in a divorce.
Don’t risk your future by trying to go through the process alone.

Uncontested vs. Contested Divorce
New York law now allows for a no-fault divorce. Although you will no longer be required to establish grounds for the divorce—other than the marriage being irretrievably broken—all of the issues regarding property division, child / spousal support, and custody still must be resolved. This is where you need a skilled trial attorney from our firm to represent your rights.
- Uncontested - If you and your spouse can agree on the terms of your divorce, your attorney can act as a mediator and establish the details and conditions of the divorce.
- Contested - If there is contention and disagreement in the divorce, then a judge will decide your future.
