Experienced Counsel Committed to your Future

If you are contemplating filing for divorce, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns about how divorce will affect your life and your future. Lauren B. Abramson, Esq. takes the time to listen to your questions and gives you honest answers. She has been helping families in Westchester County transition through divorce for more than 30 years.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTESTED & UNCONTESTED DIVORCES?

There are two main types of divorce in New York. Before you begin this legal process, it's imperative that you understand each form of divorce, and plan accordingly. Ideally, spouses will be able to divide their possessions in an amicable manner. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Whether you're engaged in an uncontested divorce or a contested divorce, you can rely on Lauren B. Abramson, Esq. for compassionate counsel and informed guidance.

• Uncontested: A couple must agree on the grounds for the divorce and reach a settlement agreement that addresses property division, child custody, child support and alimony. The settlement can be based on the terms of a premarital or postmarital agreement if you have one.

• Contested: When spouses cannot agree on property division, child custody, child support or alimony, the process takes much longer. However, the couple may reach a settlement agreement at any point during the process without having to go to trial.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE?

The reality is that couples sometimes take weeks or months to arrive at an agreement. Once all of the issues have been settled and all of the paperwork has been signed and filed with the court, your divorce can be final in six to twelve weeks.
