Our Divorce Areas of Practice
Providing You with Guidance, Answer Your Legal Questions, and Represent You During This Challenging Time
What Is the Difference Between Contested & Uncontested Divorce?
There are two types of divorces: uncontested and contested divorces. If a divorce is uncontested, this means that both parties agree to the divorce and have no financial disputes, such as alimony or child custody. These types of divorces save couples money in divorce costs, including court costs and attorney fees, and can lead to a quicker resolution. If uncontested divorce is an option for you, we can assist by providing a divorce mediator and reviewing your paperwork to ensure your rights are protected. Our approach facilitates a smooth process, aiming to resolve conflicts amicably to preserve relationships, especially when children are involved. Opting for an uncontested divorce in Suffolk County becomes simpler with local insights into court procedures and financial implications.
Contested divorces occur when one spouse wants the divorce and the other does not, or when the couple disagrees on various aspects of the divorce, especially financial obligations. This is the more common type of divorce, as couples often argue over primary child custody and monthly child support payments. These divorces can be emotionally taxing, but with legal counsel by your side, we take on your burdens and work to achieve your desired results. We offer various services for contested divorces, including divorce litigation. Our team provides robust legal representation, ensuring your voice is heard in the courtroom and your interests are defended. By navigating the complexities of contested divorces, we strive to reach resolutions that protect your and your family's future.
Do You Need to Be Separated for a Year to Divorce in NY?
For a “no-fault” divorce in NY, legal separation from your spouse for one year is required. If you pursue a divorce based on fault, the duration of separation will depend on the grounds. The grounds for divorce on which you file in New York determine how long you must be separated from your spouse before filing. Understanding these requirements is crucial to ensure your case proceeds smoothly and efficiently. Our attorneys provide clarity on these stipulations, advising on the most strategic course of action based on your circumstances. Whether in Huntington or elsewhere in Suffolk County, we help navigate the New York legal system to ensure your divorce process aligns with state regulations. The Meyers Law Group, P.C. offers guidance tailored to each case, considering both your legal rights and personal needs.
Divorce Mediation & Litigation in Suffolk County
Mediation and litigation are two primary paths our clients may pursue in Suffolk County, each requiring a strategic approach to address specific circumstances. Mediation offers a more collaborative environment, aiming for mutually beneficial agreements outside the courtroom. This method is often less adversarial, cost-effective, and quicker than litigation. We facilitate these discussions, guiding you through delicate negotiations.
Conversely, litigation may be necessary when an amicable resolution cannot be reached. Our attorneys are equipped to advocate fiercely on your behalf, presenting evidence and arguments that support your case in court. Regardless of your chosen path, our extensive understanding of Huntington's court systems and procedures will help you navigate these processes effectively, ensuring your rights and interests are prioritized at every step.
