Divorce Legal Services in Bronx

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, the case proceeds as a contested matter requiring court intervention. We represent Bronx clients in contested divorces involving disputes over property division, spousal maintenance, child custody, and other issues. Our attorneys prepare for litigation while remaining open to settlement negotiations that achieve favorable outcomes without the cost and uncertainty of trial.

Uncontested Divorce

When both spouses agree on all terms, an uncontested divorce allows for a faster and less expensive resolution. We prepare all required filings, draft the settlement agreement, and guide Bronx clients through the court process to ensure the divorce is finalized correctly and all terms are properly documented.

Property Division and Equitable Distribution

New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. For Bronx couples, this includes multi-family properties along the Grand Concourse, condos in Riverdale, and homes in Morris Park. We work with financial experts when necessary to value complex assets and advocate for a division that reflects your contributions to the marriage.

Spousal Maintenance

New York uses statutory guidelines to calculate temporary and post-divorce spousal maintenance. We advise Bronx clients on likely maintenance outcomes, negotiate favorable terms in settlement discussions, and litigate maintenance disputes when necessary. Factors including income disparity, marriage duration, and earning capacity all affect the calculation.

Post-Judgment Modifications

Circumstances change after a divorce is finalized. We handle modification petitions for Bronx clients seeking to adjust spousal maintenance, child support, or custody arrangements based on substantial changes in circumstances such as job loss, relocation, or changes in income.

Divorce Considerations for Bronx Residents

Bronx County Supreme Court's matrimonial division handles a high proportion of cases involving pension benefits from public sector employment and union membership. Dividing defined benefit pensions requires qualified domestic relations orders and actuarial analysis to determine the marital portion.

Housing is a central issue in many Bronx divorces. Whether the marital residence is a rental, co-op, or multi-family property, determining who retains it and on what terms is often the most contested aspect.
