New York Uncontested Divorce

A New York uncontested divorce can be had when both parties, after satisfying residency, are in agreement and are ready, willing and able to cooperate with each other. Uncontested divorces offer great advantages in terms of speed, low cost and certainty of result since the two parties are not litigating.

When both parties are willing to work together to resolve differences in an amicable fashion, we can rapidly prepare all the necessary legal documents. Both parties then need only to sign and notarize the divorce documents so we can submit them to the court. Another advantage is that often you do not have to make a court appearance which saves time and money. All issues of child visitation and custody, child support, property distribution and asset division, alimony / spousal support / maintenance are resolved before filing with the court.

Despite the relative ease of uncontested divorces, a lawyer is still needed to expertly work through the issues. Both contested and uncontested divorces involve the same issues of child support and visitation, child support, property distribution and spousal support. The difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce is that the two parties to an uncontested divorce have mutually agreed in order to avoid litigation.

I work to prepare and process uncontested divorces in an expeditious manner so the parties can move on with their lives as soon as possible, with the least possible cost financially, emotionally, and psychologically. Uncontested divorces also spare children from being subjected to a custody dispute, and it is preferable to having a stranger, such as a judge, make a final determination on people’s lives when he doesn’t even know the two people involved. Unfortunately, though, uncontested divorces are not always possible. In these cases, I will represent you in a contested divorce.
