When a couple gets a divorce in New York, their assets will be divided under the laws of equitable distribution. With equitable distribution, asset division, debt division and property division are divided fairly and equitable but not necessarily down the middle. The courts will examine the length of the marriage, the contributions of both spouses and a host of other factors when determining how assets are divided. Of course, it's always best to come up with a solid settlement agreement with your spouse that way you and your spouse can be in control of how your assets are divided amongst yourselves.

It will be necessary for you and your spouse to disclose your financial records, that way a fair agreement can be reached. If you have children from the marriage, we will have to come to an agreement on child custody and visitation with your spouse and if you can't agree, the courts will make a decision based on the best interests of the children. Typically the parent who doesn't have physical custody of the children is the one that has to pay child support payments to the custodial parent.
