Yonkers Divorce Attorney

If you and your spouse are able to agree on the terms of your divorce, you can most likely pursue an uncontested divorce. If you are unable to amicably agree on the terms, you will most likely have to pursue a contested divorce. Regardless of what your specific situation entails, we are prepared to provide you with the helpful counsel you need from start to finish. In addition, we offer mediation services, which allows our clients to effectively reach solutions without having to go to court.

When it comes to child custody matters, courts will begin with the presumption that it is best for children to have frequent and continuous contact with both parents. However, the exact terms will be determined by what is in the child's best interests. We recognize that child custody is a very serious matter, and we want to help ensure our clients receive the effective counsel they need to reach favorable results. We value the relationships our clients have with their children, and do everything we can to ensure those relationships are preserved.

As an equitable division state, each spouse owns the income he or she makes during the marriage. This means that they have the right to manage any property that is in their name alone. At the time of divorce, however, the name on the property is not the only deciding factor. Rather, the marital property will be divided in a way that the judge believes to be fair, even if it is not necessarily equal.
