What You Should Know About New York Divorce

In 2010, New York introduced no-fault divorce, giving couples a faster, more cost-effective alternative. You simply state the marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least 6 months. This way, you can focus more on strategic decision-making than assigning blame for who caused the breakdown in the relationship. 

This is where our team shines, as we prioritize proactive negotiations and seize every opportunity to get a favorable settlement agreement on the table early on in the process. We don’t waste time waiting for court dates or deadlines when we can skip the drama, resolve things privately, and keep you in control of the decisions that will impact your life for years to come. 

If litigation does become necessary, you can have peace of mind knowing that our Manhattan divorce attorneys will be your fierce advocates every step of the way.

Property Division - Who Gets What? 

As an equitable distribution state, New York considers 13 factors when dividing marital property. Marital property includes property purchased together during the marriage, bank accounts, and other shared assets. Some of the factors that determine distribution include:

• Income & property of each spouse 
• Length of marriage
• Amount of spousal support (also known as maintenance or alimony), if awarded 
• Individual contributions to the marriage
• If one spouse has tried to hide assets 
• Any other factor the court finds applicable to fairly distribute property

When significant assets are involved, such as complex investments, real estate portfolios, or business interests, having our seasoned Manhattan divorce attorneys in your corner is essential. Our knowledge of the divorce process and experience creating strategic solutions allows us to guide you forward on a path tailored specifically to your goals, that leads to the ideal vision you have for your life post-divorce. ‍
