Westchester County Contested Divorce Lawyer
A divorce is considered contested if either party cannot come to an agreement during the initial negotiations. In this case, the divorce is brought to court.
Experienced legal counsel for any divorce is essential. However, during a contested divorce, it is necessary to have an attorney skilled in handling these matters protect your rights.
Can't Agree? Ask an Attorney.
Although the preferred method for settling a divorce would be through marital mediation, sometimes it is impossible to come to an appropriate arrangement without the court's intervention. If you feel like you are at a dead-end in negotiations with your spouse, our Westchester County divorce attorney can advise whether it is in your best interest to bring the case before a judge.
The court will help settle disagreements regarding:
- Spousal support payments
- Child support payments
- Child custody
- Division of property and assets
Moving Toward a Settlement
During a contested divorce, an objective third party (the court) makes the final decisions regarding your divorce settlement. To protect your interests, we ensure that your case is presented thoroughly and competently. Only experienced representation can move you toward optimal results for your divorce.
Westchester County Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
Uncontested divorce, also known as cooperative divorce, occurs when the divorcing spouses can work together and agree on critical issues. In most uncontested divorce cases, each party has a family law lawyer with whom they negotiate a settlement. In other cases, only one lawyer is needed to help the parties consider all the details and their long-term implications, as well as mediate between the parties.
An uncontested divorce allows couples to avoid the long-term and expensive process of formal litigation. It can also be a much less emotionally traumatic experience than a contested divorce. It enables couples to reach creative and effective solutions, so you and your spouse can make the best decisions possible for your unique situation.
Uncontested divorce seems straightforward. Why should you hire legal counsel?
Below are just a few ways a lawyer can help:
- An attorney can ensure you discuss all important topics.
- An attorney can advise you on decisions that will affect your current and future financial status and relationship with your children.
- An attorney can assist with drafting and filing necessary forms and complex legal documents.
- An attorney can help you understand your rights regarding various aspects of the divorce.
If children are involved or you have substantial assets, hiring legal assistance can help the process go smoothly. Divorce orders are binding legal documents. This means if you make a decision that will negatively affect you later, it will be tough to change the agreement. Having a lawyer advise you during the decision-making process is important.
