I am happy to announce that I have retired. Michael and I became "that special age" this year. I actually retired around the time the "plague " first hit us. I highly recommend retirement. It's a wonderful time of life to devote uninterrupted time with God and family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have been supportive all these years. I wish the very best for all of you. God Bless

As we begin to open back up in our communities, we can use some information on how to begin the transition while reducing our risk of infection. I hope you will find these suggestions useful.

1. Know the risks. Make the assessment and decide if you really need to take the risk. And, decide if in fact, there truly exists a greater than usual risk in that situation.

2. If possible, stay away from indoor, contained areas with a lot of people.

3. If you are going to go somewhere indoors, go where you are assured the place has good air flow.

4. When you do go somewhere, go with a plan.

5. Use your intuition.

I hope these suggestions help us make this transition safely.

What is uncontested divorce NY?

An Uncontested Divorce means you and your spouse both agree to dissolve your marriage and that you and your spouse have agreed upon any issues involved such as; property distribution, debt allocation, spousal maintenance, retirements, child custody and child support.

If you have any of these issues, and do not a court order for custody and child support, I can provide a Divorce or Property Agreement for you. Divorce or Separation Agreements are provided for a Flat Rate Fee.

You will not need an Agreement if both parties simply want a divorce and there are no minor children of the marriage, no division of real property, no division of marital assets, no spousal support, no debts to be divided, and no pension or retirement rights to be decided.

The most common question I receive is "How long will my uncontested divorce take in New York?"

The length of time it takes to finalize an uncontested divorce is based primarily on two factors: how busy the court is and how fast you and your spouse can return the necessary documents to the attorney.

All of the divorce documents have to be submitted to a Judge to sign the Judgment of Divorce. Some Judge’s require certain changes to the documents that other Judge’s do not.

It is not possible to know which Judge will be assigned to sign your Judgment of Divorce until after all the documents have been filed with the County Clerk. Once a Judge has been assigned and all the paperwork is satisfactory to a particular Judge, some will sign the Judgment of Divorce within a reasonable time and some will take much longer.
