Property Division Can Be Complicated

The New York Supreme Court recently revised its divorce code to allow only no-fault grounds for divorce. Many individuals assume that no-fault divorce is simple and straightforward, but you still need to settle the same custody, support and property division issues.

The state divides marital assets and debts based on equitable distribution guidelines, which typically involves an equal split. Our legal team has nearly 20 years of experience handling complex property division issues involving:

Homes
Pensions
Vehicles
Deferred compensation
Life insurance
Tax exemptions
Personal property
Health insurance
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROS)
Annuities

How Is Maintenance Determined?

In 2010, the state passed new laws for spousal support, or maintenance, obligation. The new interim support process involves a formula based on each spouse’s income. After your divorce is finalized, the court reviews several factors to decide if support should continue. We have extensive experience representing individuals facing spousal support obligations, as well as those seeking maintenance. We will evaluate your situation to provide you with a clear idea of what you may expect.

Collaboration Or Court?

We pursue creative resolutions for individuals going through divorce. We understand the benefits of collaborating with the other party to decide the outcome of certain issues. We have negotiated hundreds of divorce agreements, helping clients minimize the time and expense of litigation and trial. However, when taking a case to trial is in the best interest of a client, we will not hesitate to protect our clients’ rights.
