Divorce Legal Services in Westchester

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on the terms of their divorce, the case proceeds as a contested matter requiring court intervention. We represent Westchester 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 Westchester 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 Westchester couples, this includes homes in Scarsdale, properties in Bronxville, and estates throughout northern Westchester. 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 Westchester 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 Westchester 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 Westchester Residents

Westchester County Supreme Court handles some of the highest-value marital estates outside Manhattan. Homes in Scarsdale, Bronxville, and Chappaqua can be worth several million. Spousal maintenance calculations often involve high incomes exceeding the statutory cap.

Country club memberships, deferred compensation, restricted stock, and trust interests commonly arise in Westchester divorces. Our attorneys work with financial experts to ensure all marital assets are identified and properly valued.
