Divorce Mediation Attorney & Child Custody Lawyer
for Westchester County
Irretrievable breakdown in the relationship is grounds for divorce in New York, which is often referred to as “no fault” divorce. Due to this, assets are sometimes divided straight down the middle in a divorce case. This can leave one spouse unhappy, especially if he or she is worth significantly more than the other spouse. To prevent this, a prenuptial agreement can be drawn up prior to the wedding, which spells out exactly what will happen with everything in case of divorce. While some may find this unpleasant to think about, it can help to ensure your best interests are protected down the road. In the event of a collaborative divorce, working with a knowledgeable property division attorney is also a reasonable option.
Sometimes, spouses are fairly agreeable when it comes to sharing assets. Attorney Abramson is available to act as a divorce mediation attorney. Mediation settlements and collaborative divorce protocols are typically much cheaper and more efficient than going through the courts in a divorce case.
