Stipulation Divorce

The stipulation divorce is recommended when both parties have a mutual agreement over the division of assets, debts, custody/visitation, child support, and retirement benefits. In this situation, our office provides a unique type of divorce in which we go over a questionnaire with the client and a strategy session. The stipulation divorce saves clients thousands of dollars in legal fees and it is still fairly inexpensive compared to most other firms.

We encourage you to call our office to go over the procedure on how to obtain an uncontested divorce.

A FATHER’S RIGHTS AFTER DIVORCE

Most couples believe that after getting a divorce all their problems will end. This concept is not necessarily true especially when the divorced couples have children in common.

Child Support
The non-custodial parents, which is usually the father, faces a challenge when he cannot afford to pay child support. I always tell my male clients that it is easier to increase child support than decrease it. However, it is possible to decrease court ordered child support payments if the non-custodial parent is laid off from their job, their salary decreases, or if they have another child from another marriage that they are supporting.

Retirement Benefits

Many attorneys do not know the ins and outs of pension plans and do not include key language in divorce agreements that would benefit their clients. Our attorneys have reviewed many divorce and separation agreements that were drafted by other lawyers that did not mention certain benefits that would have greatly benefited their clients.

What Makes a Divorce Expensive in New York?

First, it is important to understand that there are two kinds of divorces – contested and uncontested. During an uncontested divorce in New York, both parties agree on all the terms and do not need the court to divide assets or make determinations about child custody, child support or maintenance (alimony). Thus, an uncontested divorce is usually a quicker process and is less of a financial burden. An uncontested lawyer will be able to assist with this divorce route.

On the other hand, a contested divorce in New York is one in which the spouses cannot agree on dividing the assets, distribution of debts, custody of children, child support or spousal support. Property division can take a lot of time to resolve, especially in high-net-worth cases. Essentially, the more contested your divorce becomes and the more issues the spouses can’t agree on, the more time your divorce will take both in and out of court. These issues can and will drive up the cost of your divorce tremendously.

Custody/Visitation

In New York the court determines which parent gets custody by examining the best interest of the children. The court appoints an attorney for the child. Generally, this attorney’s duty is to report the child’s wishes to the court. The court takes into consideration the child’s wishes as one factor in determining which parent the child should reside. For older children (13 and up) the court tends to listen more to the child’s wishes as to which parent the child wants to live with. If one parent receives custody, the other parent gets visitation with the child. The parties also alternate holidays and each parent is entitled to summer vacation with the child.

Women’s Rights in a Divorce

Divorce law is supposed to be applied equally towards any person, irrespective of gender and or identity preference. Why, then, would divorce affect women differently than men? Simply put, the reason is the reality of most circumstances encountered by our community. Our practice has demonstrated that, generally, women are more emotionally invested in the marriage than men, and women tend to be the primary caretakers of the children. Of course, these circumstances alone cannot lead to a generalized conclusion that men are apathetic about the marital relationship or their children. However, what these circumstances do reflect is that women more often than men sacrifice their careers; work part-time; or stay at home full-time to raise the children.

Another reality that our society confronts is that of domestic violence. Divorce can also mean freedom for women that are victims of domestic violence. It is not uncommon to encounter brave women who have endured years of verbal, mental or physical abuse from their spouse. For many of my female clients, for example, they have endured and tolerated years of living in an abusive marriage to raise the children and keep the family intact.

How, then, does these realties affect how issues of child custody are determined in the court system?

Simple cheap divorce

Parties may choose to do a simple cheap divorce if they do not own any real estate properties or are not interested in obtaining a share of their spouse’s retirement benefits. A simple cheap divorce is also recommended if there are no real estate property or custody issues, but their spouse is refusing to sign the divorce papers. Our office can still get the divorce even if the other spouse refuses to sign the papers.

ANNULMENT IN NEW YORK

The most common ground for annulment is fraud. For instance, if your significant other promised to raise a family with you and you married that significant other based on that promise but after the marriage, he or she told you that they do not want to have children with you. In this situation, you may be eligible to file for an annulment.

Unlike divorce, judges do not see too many annulments, so it is very important that you hire an attorney that is familiar with the procedure and the law. Obtaining an annulment does not have to be an expensive or a lengthy process. Our attorneys are familiar with the annulment process and the necessary paperwork will be completed in a timely manner so you can start the next chapter of your life as quickly as possible.
