Commonly Asked Questions

What are the steps to file for divorce in Yonkers?

First, you need to determine the grounds for divorce, which can be based on fault or no-fault reasons. Next, you will need to complete the necessary paperwork, including the Summons and Complaint, and file them with the court. After filing, you must serve your spouse with the divorce papers. It's also important to consider mediation or negotiation to resolve any disputes amicably. Finally, attending court hearings may be necessary to finalize the divorce.

How can I ensure my rights are protected during a divorce?

To ensure your rights are protected during a divorce, it is crucial to have legal representation that understands family law in Yonkers. An attorney can help you navigate the complexities of divorce proceedings, including asset division, child custody, and support issues. They will advocate for your best interests and work to achieve a fair settlement. Additionally, maintaining clear communication and documentation throughout the process can help safeguard your rights.

How long does the divorce process typically take in Yonkers?

The duration of the divorce process in Yonkers can vary significantly based on several factors, including the complexity of the case and whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. Generally, an uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all terms, can be finalized in a few months. However, if there are disputes regarding asset division, child custody, or support, the process may take longer, potentially extending to a year or more.

Your Options for Mediation

Divorce, when brought into court, can turn a family’s life completely upside down. Mediation is an excellent option for couples who are able to reach amicable agreements outside of court. During mediation, each spouse is represented and heard, and then we negotiate toward settlements that are agreeable to both parties. We enjoy offering this service to couples, as it gives you both a chance to effectively move toward your own personal goals for the conclusion of your marriage.

Whether your divorce can be resolved amicably or calls for litigation inside the courtroom, our team is prepared to serve as the helpful advocates by your side from start to finish. Always striving for exceptional results, we do all that we can to ensure our clients get through their divorce, and move forward favorably.
