Divorce Legal Services in Brooklyn

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, the case proceeds as a contested matter requiring court intervention. We represent Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn couples, this includes co-op apartments in Williamsburg, brownstones in Park Slope, and condos in Downtown Brooklyn. 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn Residents

Kings County Supreme Court handles a substantial volume of divorce cases. Brooklyn divorces involving co-op apartments require particular attention because co-op shares are personal property under New York law, and the board's approval process adds complexity to any transfer or buyout.

Brooklyn's gentrifying neighborhoods have created situations where marital homes purchased years ago are now worth significantly more. Determining fair market value requires careful analysis, particularly when one spouse contributed separate property funds.
