New York is an equitable distribution state that now allows for no-fault divorce. If you are getting a divorce, it's important to understand that there isn't a cookie-cutter approach to divorce cases and no two are identical. Matters pertaining to asset division, property division, debt division and maintenance vary widely depending on a number of factors including the length of the marriage and whether or not the couple has children.

How a St. James Divorce Attorney Can Help You

A contested divorce is one where the parties cannot agree on vital issues over assets and/or child custody, whereas an uncontested divorce is the opposite where the couple can agree. In all marriages with children a divorce won't be granted until after the parents come to terms on child custody, visitation and child support. In cases where the couple can't agree on child custody, the judge will step in and make a decision for them based on what's in the best interests of the children. Although the family court encourages frequent contact with both parents, custody may be denied in cases of child abuse, drug or alcohol abuse.
