Sort Out Your Divorce with Our Help

Ending a marriage is not exactly a simple process, but we are here to make it feel that way. Anything in your life that once was affected by your marriage will need to be brought forth for consideration in your divorce. Your business, your property, your children, and more are all covered to some extent under divorce law.

Key aspects of your divorce to consider are:

Depending on how your divorce develops, it could be contested or uncontested, too. An uncontested divorce is more straightforward, involving both parties agreeing on all aspects of the divorce as first outlined in the divorce agreement. Contested divorces, however, can take longer to resolve as you try to find a fair middle ground with your soon-to-be ex-spouse.

Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, traditional or same-sex, our Putnam County divorce lawyers can help you through it. From the moment you retain our legal services, we will act to uphold your best interests.

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Our Dutchess County Divorce Attorneys Understand the Unique Needs of Same-Sex Divorce

    While same-sex couples and heterosexual couples face similar challenges in the divorce process, same-sex divorce and custody cases can be more complicated. Our divorce lawyers are able to navigate complex family law issues in the Hudson Valley, and we understand the nuances that are unique to same-sex divorce cases. We provide outstanding legal representation to our clients regardless of sexual or gender orientation.

  • Can I Date While Separated Before Divorce?

    A couple remains legally married until the court finalizes a divorce. Furthermore, adultery is considered a fault-based ground for divorce. Therefore, you risk committing adultery by dating someone before the court finalizes your divorce. As a result, the court can consider this against you during divorce proceedings, such as when determining the equitable distribution of marital assets, alimony, and other issues.

  • How Is Property Divided in a Divorce in New York?

    In New York, marital property is equitably distributed between the couple. An “equitable” division of marital property doesn’t necessarily mean that property is “equally” divided. Instead, the court will consider certain factors to determine how exactly to divide marital assets upon divorce. All property that the couple acquired during their marriage qualifies as a marital property upon divorce. An asset that a party a party obtained before getting married or after separating from their spouse to get a divorce qualifies as the acquiring party’s separate property and is not subject to equitable distribution.

  • Is There a Waiting Period for Getting a Divorce in New York?

    No. In other states, the parties must wait for a certain period of time before getting a divorce. Also known as “cooling-off” periods, mandatory waiting periods are meant to give the parties time to think about whether they really want a divorce and to preserve the possibility of reconciling before spouses permanently end their marriage. However, New York law does not impose a mandatory waiting period for divorces.

  • How to Get a Quick Divorce in NY

    Every case will have its own unique set of circumstances that can impact the outcome of a divorce. If you have an uncontested divorce, a scenario where you and your spouse have few assets or don't share any children, the divorce could be settled in only a few months. On average, an uncontested divorce case could be resolved in just a few months. A contested divorce, on the other hand, could last between nine months and up to a year, possibly more for very complex cases. Again, it will depend on factors such as custody, property division, or alimony to be settled.
