Separation
Often, clients prefer to begin with a formal separation agreement, a legally binding contract that outlines how property, finances, and parental responsibilities will be handled while the couple lives apart. This route allows both parties to move forward without the pressure or cost of litigation, and provides time and space to determine whether reconciliation or divorce is the right path.
A well-drafted separation agreement serves as the foundation for a smooth, uncontested divorce, saving time and legal fees down the road. We ensure your agreement is thorough, enforceable, and structured to protect your interests, now and in the future.
Divorce/ Divorce Litigation
Divorce is never easy, but you don’t have to face it alone. While many divorces can be resolved through negotiation or settlement, some require litigation to ensure a fair outcome. I will advocate fiercely on your behalf in court if necessary, especially when high-stakes issues like custody, finances, or support are on the line.
My goal is always to reach a just resolution with as little conflict as possible, but when that’s not achievable, you can count on strategic, aggressive representation every step of the way. Your future matters, and I’ll fight to protect it.
Equitable Distribution of Martial Assets
In New York State, marital property is divided through equitable distribution, which means assets are split fairly, though not always equally. This includes your home, vehicles, savings, retirement accounts, and even business interests or investment portfolios accumulated during the marriage.
I take a strategic, detail-oriented approach to ensure your financial contributions, needs, and long-term stability are fully considered. Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, I’ll walk you through how NY law applies to your situation and pursue a division that honors your effort, safeguards your future, and reflects your true share of what was built together.
