Divorce Legal Services in Queens

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, the case proceeds as a contested matter requiring court intervention. We represent Queens 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 Queens 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 Queens couples, this includes co-ops in Forest Hills, multi-family homes in Flushing, and condos in Long Island City. 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 Queens 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 Queens 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 Queens Residents

Queens County Supreme Court serves one of the most diverse populations in the country. Multi-generational family homes, mixed-use properties, and small business interests are common assets. When a family business is part of the marital estate, proper valuation through forensic accounting is essential.

Many Queens families own multi-family properties that generate rental income. These present unique divorce challenges because they are both assets to be valued and income sources that affect support calculations.
