- DivorceA contested divorce is the legal terminology for the majority of today’s divorces when spouses are unable to come to an agreement about the essential divorce terms. This type of divorce may require a trial and the Judge will base the decision on divorce case facts and the testimonies of witnesses, if necessary. Often, the Judge will make decisions that are just and suitable for divorcing couples.
- Child SupportChild support is money provided by a non-custodial parent to the custodial parent for children under the age of 21. In New York State, child support payments are based upon a formula called the Child Support Standards Act. Child support payments can be awarded in Supreme Court during divorce proceedings or in Family Court as a part of a Child Support proceeding.
- Child Custody and VisitationThis is not an easy question to answer. Some divorce cases can be completed in a few months, while others can take years to resolve. It really depends upon how complex the individual case is and how willing the spouses are to negotiate and agree upon the terms of the divorce. There are many complex issues of financial and property division, child rearing and support, custody and visitation that become stumbling blocks to a quick divorce. The only way to know for sure is to speak with an experienced attorney who knows the questions to ask to reveal the complexity of the case and provide advice for the best way to move forward with the divorce.

- Spousal SupportUnfair, unwise, or unhappy divorces often leave parties vulnerable or vengeful. Issues then arise after the divorce is completed. There may be changes in careers, earning abilities, health, or other changes that make it necessary to reevaluate and adjust the terms of the Settlement Agreement or Divorce Decree. Problems may arise with regard to pensions and retirement accounts. It also may become necessary to address a need for an increase or decrease in support payments, or for enforcement of the obligation for payment of child and/or spousal support.
