Obtaining a divorce is the legal means of terminating a marriage. Many couples separate without obtaining a divorce. This is not the best approach to deal with a marital termination. Debts and expenses still follow both parties to a marriage until a divorce action is commenced.
New York is a no fault divorce state which allows for parties to obtain a divorce without pointing fingers or alleging wrong doing on the part of the other spouse.
Divorce can be done on consent, which is the most expeditious way of terminating a marriage. An on consent divorce can include provisions for spousal support and child support if there are minor children.
All divorces involving couples with minor children must make provision for child support, unless there is a prior order for support from the family court.
Where the parties cannot agree to a divorce, the matter is then contested, where all issues are either resolved at trial or settled prior to inquest. A contested divorce is a lengthy process and can be costly to all concerned. As such we endeavor to amicably resolve issues of spousal support, child support, property division, and 401k division so that parties can move on with their lives.
