How a Long Island Divorce Lawyer Can Help You

Divorce raises serious concerns about finances, property, and children. Our role is to protect your interests while guiding you through every stage of the process with efficiency and care. We assist clients with:

Every case is different, and we approach each with a customized strategy focused on long-term stability.

Division of Marital Property in New York

New York follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning marital assets are divided fairly, though not always equally. Property subject to division may include:

  • Real estate and vacation homes
  • Bank accounts and investments
  • Retirement accounts and pensions
  • Business interests
  • Debts and liabilities

Disputes often arise when parties disagree on asset valuation or fail to negotiate in good faith. Our divorce attorneys work to protect your property rights and pursue equitable outcomes.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Spousal maintenance may be awarded on a temporary or post-divorce basis, depending on the circumstances. Courts consider factors such as income, length of marriage, and financial need. We help clients:

  • Seek appropriate maintenance awards
  • Challenge unreasonable support demands
  • Protect long-term financial security

Clear legal guidance is essential when maintenance obligations may affect your future.

Child Custody and Parenting Arrangements

Custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Co-parenting can be challenging, especially during or after divorce, but workable solutions are possible with proper legal support. Our firm assists with:

  • Legal and physical custody arrangements
  • Parenting schedules
  • Modifications to existing orders
  • Dispute resolution between parents

We focus on preserving parent-child relationships while creating realistic, sustainable plans.

Child Support in New York Divorce Cases

Child support is determined using statutory guidelines based on income, number of children, and custody arrangements. The goal is to ensure children receive appropriate financial support from both parents. We prioritize outcomes that protect children’s needs while remaining fair to both parents.
