New York Marital Property Attorney
Helping You Reach a Divorce Settlement on Staten Island
Getting divorced in New York doesn't have to be a prolonged and emotionally draining experience. My goal as your lawyer is to help you complete your divorce as quickly as possible, while protecting your rights and helping you prepare for the future. My law office is conveniently located in Dongan Hills, Staten Island, New York.
On October 14, 2010, New York state passed no-fault divorce, ending the requirements that couples had to prove fault in order to end their marriage. But while it is now possible to get a no-fault divorce in New York, it is not as easy as one may think. It is still necessary to resolve complex issues such as child custody and property division, and make tough decisions about who will live in the marital home, for example.
Contested and Uncontested Divorce
A number of the divorce cases I handle are uncontested. One of the reasons for this is that I don't litigate for the sake of litigation. My excellent prep work, experience, and solid negotiation skills can help you reach a settlement without ever setting foot in court.
As your Staten Island divorce lawyer, I will help you seek an out-of-court settlement on all issues such as:
- Dividing marital property and protecting your rights to your separate property
- Negotiating creative and fair Parenting Plans for child custody
- Determining whether spousal support or maintenance will be an issue in your divorce
However, if your soon-to-be ex is unwilling to be reasonable, I have more than 20 years of experience defending my clients' interests in court. I can provide aggressive representation if called for.
