Brooklyn Family & Divorce Lawyer MKB

Brooklyn Family & Divorce Lawyer MKB is a compassionate Family & Divorce Lawyer serving the metro area.

Conveniently located near the Metrotech Center & Brooklyn's courthouses, Mary Katherine Brown is innovating a fusion of in person and online services. I do all I can to make each contact with my clients an opportunity to demonstrate my respect for them, and my appreciation for the trust and faith they put in me. I believe empathy, enthusiasm and perseverance cannot be too highly valued. It's my jo

b to be informative and patient so I can help my clients understand what can be done, what may be done, and/or what must be done to protect their legal rights and to achieve the best possible outcome for their unique legal matter. It is also extremely important to me that I counsel each of my clients on litigation and legal "crisis" avoidance! Many, many legal disputes can be resolved with negotiation and alternative dispute resolution, and more can be avoided entirely with proper attention to potential legal problems before they develop into a litigation matter. The best compliment I can receive from a client is a referral to a friend or a family member--I try to earn that compliment as a result of my work on each client's matter. This is my mission statement, and my hope is to perpetuate a successful, growing and diverse legal practice by staying true to this mission.

A divorce lawyer can help protect your financial interests when a divorce involves significant assets. ⚖️ High-asset divorces may involve businesses, investments, real estate, trusts, retirement accounts, and other property that can be difficult to value or divide.

New York follows equitable distribution, so marital property is not automatically split 50/50. Understanding which assets are marital or separate, obtaining reliable valuations, and accounting for taxes and liquidity can all affect settlement decisions.

A high-asset divorce can also raise questions about missing assets, unreported income, and how property division may interact with spousal support. Careful financial preparation can help you make more informed decisions.

Bank accounts aren’t the only place hidden assets can surface during a divorce. Unreported income, undervalued property, undisclosed investments, or unusual financial transfers can make it harder to determine what should be included in the marital estate. 🔎

A divorce lawyer may rely on financial records, tax returns, bank statements, property records, and other documentation to identify inconsistencies and uncover assets that may not be immediately visible.

Knowing what warning signs to look for can help you better understand your financial picture before property division is finalized.

A divorce lawyer can help you approach a high-conflict divorce with a strategy focused on facts, documentation, and protecting your rights. ⚖️ When a spouse creates constant conflict, delays the process, or makes accusations, reacting emotionally can make an already difficult situation harder.

A custody decision in Brooklyn can turn on factors that parents may not expect. ⚖️

Understanding what the court considers can help parents prepare more effectively and avoid overlooking details that may affect their case. A child custody lawyer can also provide guidance on how these factors may apply to your circumstances.
