Practice areas
Family Law Services We Provide
Divorce and Legal Separation
Divorce is one of the most consequential legal processes a person goes through. Our attorneys represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings, including matters involving complex finances, business interests, real property, and retirement accounts. We also assist clients in establishing legal separation agreements when divorce is not the immediate goal.
Child Custody and Visitation
Custody decisions directly affect your children's day-to-day lives, and those decisions deserve careful, strategic advocacy. We represent parents in custody and visitation disputes, including initial custody determinations, relocation matters, and cases involving parental conflict or concerns about a child's well-being. Our approach keeps the child's best interests at the center while making sure your rights as a parent are fully represented.
Child Support
Child support in New York is determined by specific guidelines, but the details of your case can significantly affect the outcome. We represent clients in establishing child support orders, seeking modifications when circumstances change, and addressing enforcement when an existing order is not being followed.
Spousal Support and Maintenance
Whether you are seeking spousal maintenance or responding to a claim for support, our attorneys work to make sure the outcome accurately reflects your financial situation and the relevant factors under New York law. We handle both temporary maintenance orders and final support determinations.
Property Division
New York divides marital property under an equitable distribution standard. That does not always mean equal, and the specifics matter a great deal. We work with clients to identify, value, and advocate for a fair division of marital assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, investments, and business interests.
Orders of Protection and Domestic Violence Matters
When safety is a concern, immediate legal action may be necessary. Our attorneys assist clients in obtaining orders of protection and represent individuals in domestic violence-related family court proceedings. We also represent clients who are responding to protection order petitions and need to make sure their rights and their account of events are properly presented.
Post-Judgment Modifications and Enforcement
Circumstances change. A custody arrangement or support order that made sense at the time of your divorce may no longer reflect your current situation. We assist clients in seeking modifications to existing orders and in enforcing agreements or judgments that are not being honored.
Our approach
What to Expect When You Work With Us
A Consultation That Actually Helps
We start by listening. Your first consultation is a chance for us to understand your situation, answer your questions honestly, and give you a realistic picture of your options. We do not believe in vague reassurances. We believe in clear information and a strategy that fits your goals.
A Plan Built Around Your Case
No two family law matters are the same. After we understand your situation, we build a legal strategy around your specific circumstances, whether that means pursuing a negotiated resolution, preparing for litigation, or a combination of both.
Honest Communication Throughout
Family law cases can move quickly, and they can also stall unexpectedly. We keep you informed at every stage so you always know where things stand and what comes next.
Prepared to Litigate When It Matters
We prefer resolutions that avoid unnecessary courtroom conflict when that serves our clients' interests. But when litigation is necessary, our attorneys are prepared to advocate for you directly and effectively in front of a judge.
Support After the Case Closes
Legal matters involving children or ongoing financial obligations rarely end at the courthouse. We remain available to help clients address modifications, enforcement issues, and new developments that arise after a case concludes.
