Family Law Overview
NYC Legal Counsel for Modern Family Law
My firm offers NYC legal counsel and representation for clients involved in modern family law disputes.
Modern family law is complex and ever-changing. New rules and regulations can be daunting to someone unfamiliar with this field of law.
Professional help in the form of legal counsel can help you navigate this new terrain:
New York State Divorce
New York State grants divorces only on fault-based criteria. Those seeking divorce must prove one of the criteria or grounds for divorce:
- Cruelty or inhumane treatment
- Abandonment greater than one year
- Imprisonment for at least three years
- Adultery
- Living apart under a separation agreement for at least one year
I offer legal counsel to assist clients at any stage of their divorce proceedings. Please visit the divorce and mediation pages for more information.
New York State Divorce with Children
New York State divorces that involve children are complicated by several issues that must be decided by the courts:
An experienced family law attorney will help you present your case. I commit my practice to helping my clients reach amiable legal resolutions for their families.
I have served many times as a court-appointed law guardian representing minor children in complex divorce proceedings.
New York State Divorce and Property Division
Property division is a major component of New York State divorce proceedings. This division is a long and involved process that can require extensive documentation and negotiation.
Clients often find this aspect of their divorce to be the most difficult and surprisingly emotional. I stand beside my clients during these negotiations and help them come to a solution that serves their best interest.
Please visit the property division page where I discuss some of the detailed components of the legal process and aspects of my legal counsel.
