Are you a New York State resident considering a divorce? Buyer beware! Unfortunately, there are some New York divorce attorneys who will exacerbate conflict and thereby generate higher fees and other expenses.
The good news is that there are New York divorce lawyers who can keep your divorce from becoming a protracted conflict that will deplete your assets. These attorneys have significant training and experience in mediation and collaborative divorce. At your initial consultation, they will explain these more economical options for dissolving your marriage.
Instead of unnecessarily rushing off to divorce court, these attorneys will help you make an out-of-court divorce settlement consistent with your reasonable needs and interests, and those of your children and spouse. Not only will such a divorce settlement save you tons of money, it will also greatly increase your chances of having a good aftermath to your divorce. Think about this: how important is it for your children to know their parents will be cordial to each other when they attend graduations, weddings and births of grandchildren in the decades to come? How important is this for you?
Besides settling your divorce, a mediator or collaborative lawyer can provide other valuable services, including:
• helping a soon-to-married couple make a prenuptial agreement involving money and assets without negatively impacting their relationship;
• helping a married couple, who wants to save their marriage and continue living together, resolve issues by making a postnuptial agreement;
• helping a married couple considering a legal separation or divorce – who are having second thoughts about it – engage in a dialogue about the reasons for the split up and explore the possibility of saving their marriage.
• helping you resolve other types of disputes, including business matters.
