Family Divorce Lawyer
Going through a divorce is a difficult experience filled with uncertainty. An experienced divorce attorney can help remove some of this uncertainty and help a person transition to their new life as a single person.
Every divorce is different. Some people, after years of marriage, realize that they are simply not right for one another and can amicably work toward an uncontested divorce. Other marriages end in a flurry of hurt feelings and deep emotions, giving rise to a highly contested matter. Some marriages fall somewhere in between. Since the facts of a divorce are as unique as the couple, it is important that a lawyer take the time learn about an individual’s circumstances, what they expect from the divorce, and what will be considered a positive outcome for this person.
While each divorce is unique, there are common issues that need to be resolved in each case. One issue that needs to be resolved is the division of marital property. In New York, marital assets are to be divided “equitably” among the parties. By law, some property is considered to be “marital” and other property is “separate.” An experienced attorney can explain exactly how each piece of property should be designated and ensure that their clients get an equitable share.
For a divorce involving a child, it is extremely important that an experienced attorney help with the resolution of a divorce. Putting the needs of the child first are important to avoid putting the child in the middle of a nasty dispute. A divorce attorney can ensure that issues like child custody, child support, and visitation are decided fairly with the best needs of the child clearly identified and respected. This way, each parent can have an active role in raising the child or children.
It is essential that your lawyer is well respected and has a successful track record to ensure that you and your interests are properly protected.
