Divorce
“Uncontested divorce” effectively means an action where the parties agree to be divorced have resolved the surrounding issues. The parties either agree immediately before going to a lawyer or lawyers, or agree after a short period of negotiation. It is extremely important that both parties fully disclose all of their assets. Lack of full disclosure can be grounds for overturning a finding of divorce.
Child Support
The second and much more common way of becoming separated, is by agreement between the parties. The parties agree in a document, which is essentially a binding contract, to all of the conditions of divorce. Issues concerning separation of property, living separately, custody of the children, and child support are all addressed in a separation agreement. This process involves negotiation and full disclosure between the parties. More specifically, each party must fully disclose all of his or her assets for the separation agreement to be binding. After the separation agreement is properly signed and acknowledged, either party may move for divorce after one year. The moving party must have complied substantially with all the terms and conditions of the separation agreement.
Child Custody and Visitation
This rest of this section of our web site is designed for you, the potential client, to gain valuable information in assessing your matrimonial or custody case. This page goes over grounds for divorce, equitable distribution, the difference between contested and uncontested divorce, and basic child custody support issues.
Guardianship
If you do not have a health care proxy and at some point in the future whether through illness or accident you are unable to make major medical decisions for yourself with regard to health care a guardianship proceeding may have to be brought on your behalf. A concerned family member, friend or agency involved can petition the court for a guardian to be appointed to make decisions for you. A guardianship proceeding is in front of a Judge. The person who petitions the court has an attorney, the court appoints an attorney to investigate the matter and an attorney may be appointed for you. If the guardianship is granted all of the costs and the majority of attorneys fees will come out of your estate. The costs and fees can be in the thousands of dollars. By executing a health care proxy with a qualified attorney now, it could save your family and friends the time and expense involved with a guardianship proceeding. When executing a health care proxy, it may be prudent to also execute a power of attorney.
Spousal Support
When the Equitable Distribution Law came into effect, “alimony” became known as maintenance. Before equitable distribution was instituted, alimony was awarded to the spouse having economic need until the death of either party or the remarriage of the dependent party. In 2016 New York passed a mandatory maintenance statute that takes into account the parties different salaries and child support obligations. Click here to go to our support calculator.

Personal Injury

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The death of a loved one is difficult event to put it mildly. However, this difficulty will only be compounded if you do not find a competent and experienced Estates attorney. Our attorneys actively represent estates before the Surrogate’s Courts of Long Island and all five boroughs. We are experienced in estate litigation and assisting families during their difficult time. Probate does not have to be overwhelming. The staff at all the Surrogate’s Courts are some of the most experienced in the Court system and are eager to smoothly administer your estate. We can help.
Wills
A Last Will and Testament gives you the opportunity to set out exactly how you want your assets distributed. It can set forth who would care for your minor child and who should take care of funeral arrangements. It can eliminate disagreements between your relatives over who gets property and can prevent the possibility of. unintended relatives inheriting your property. In short, it allows you to provide or not provide for your loved ones according to your wishes.
Power of Attorney
What scares many clients is the possibility of a power of attorney being misused. A solution to this problem is to have your attorney retain the power of attorney for safe keeping with instruction to only release it upon your instructions or if your subsequent incapacity is confirmed. Furthermore, the agent that is appointed cannot make gifts to him or herself unless you specifically authorize it.
Probate

Foreclosure
You never lost faith in my strength to overcome the obstacles set before us. The move from my marital home to and apartment, with sole custody of my daughter, the order of protection, the panic alarm place in my home, the fight to retain my Nursing degree as my own, the near foreclosure of the martial home (since my ex decided not to pay the mortgage), the sale of the home, my last will and the closing on my new home…
