Helping Families Find Resolution During Tough Times
Divorce and custody battles are some of the most emotionally taxing legal challenges a person can face. In New York, navigating these issues requires a clear understanding of state laws and a strong strategy to protect your rights and your family’s well-being. At Schonbrun Law, we understand the stakes and are here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding New York Divorce Laws
New York offers several grounds for divorce, ranging from fault-based reasons like abandonment and adultery to no-fault divorce, which requires the marriage to be irretrievably broken for at least six months. Understanding which grounds to file under can impact the division of assets, spousal support, and even custody arrangements.
Preparing for Custody Hearings
Child custody in New York is determined based on the "best interests of the child." This includes factors like:
The child’s relationship with each parent.
Each parent’s ability to provide stability.
The mental and physical health of the parents.
To strengthen your case, it’s essential to keep detailed records of your involvement in your child’s life and any relevant communication with the other parent.
