Only divorce and family law
Attorneys who work in these courts every day.
Often times a married couple will seek a divorce without the burden and cost of court intervention. When the parties can work together to sort out issues of equitable distribution, maintenance, child support, child custody and other related matters, an uncontested divorce may be the most effective route.
In these cases, our experienced uncontested divorce attorneys at Seidner & Associates will zealously negotiate the terms of a settlement agreement on our client’s behalf with the opposing party until each issue is ironed out. Proper drafting and attention to detail reduces the possibility for future disputes. We take pride in ensuring that each client has a complete understanding of his or her separation agreement.
After a separation agreement has been executed, the next step is to prepare the Uncontested Divorce Packet, which is required by all New York State Courts. Our firm efficiently prepares all required forms and documents and submits the same to the Court in a timely fashion. Once the judge signs the Judgment of Divorce and it is entered with the County Clerk, the divorce process is complete.
It is our goal to negotiate the terms of your divorce with your best interests in mind and with the hope that each party can remain amicable. Our attorneys handle uncontested divorces on a daily basis and we take pride in knowing that our clients feel comfortable working so closely with us to obtain their desired results. We are confident that your uncontested divorce matter will be a success.
Divorce 2013
Our client was the family's breadwinner. Midway through trial, our witness offered very damaging evidence, and Mr. Seidner was proving the husband had wasted marital assets. He settled to avoid several more days of trial.
The outcome
Our client obtained custody, child support and the house, and the husband waived maintenance.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Each case is different and thus cost is extremely difficult to estimate. In general, the number and age of children involved, a couple’s financial and employment situation, the more assets a couple might have, and the length of the marriage can all have an impact on the cost of a divorce.
When couples are able to amicably decide potentially complicated issues like child custody, visitation, support for children and/or spouses, property division, etc., a case will demand less billable hours than one in which a judge is forced to decide the parties’ fate.
How much will divorce cost?Couples may agree on matters like child custody and support, visitation and spousal maintenance. For these couples, uncontested divorce is the best route.
In New York, an uncontested divorce requires the filing of an “Uncontested Divorce Packet.” Our law firm can help you avoid costly delays or problems with filing by completing the necessary documents for you.
