Divorce

Experienced Divorce Lawyer in New York

One area of family law in which many clients seek the help of an attorney is divorce. These cases are often complex and difficult to handle without the assistance and guidance of legal counsel that is experienced in handling a variety of divorce matters.

Our staff at The Law Offices of David R. Sachs provides compassionate and professional divorce representation to clients throughout the areas surrounding our New Windsor, Bronx, and White Plains offices. Below are some of the issues that our firm handles in connection with a divorce proceeding.

Alimony (Spousal Support or Maintenance)

Though alimony is not awarded in every case, our firm can help you understand if you are entitled to alimony or may be obligated to pay alimony. When meeting with attorney Dave Sachs at our firm, he can educate you on the various aspects of each of these types of support and which may be applicable to your situation.

Property Division (New York is an "Equitable Distribution" State)

When determining how to distribute the marital property, marital fault is not considered. That is, the grounds upon which divorce was filed are not factors in property division. Also, New York is an equitable distribution state, which means that property is divided fair and equitably between the spouses, but not necessarily 50-50.

Children's Issues

It is important that any issues involving children of the divorce are addressed as efficiently and effectively as possible. This can help minimize the trauma that children invariably suffer during the course of a divorce. By keeping their best interests in mind, comprehensive child custody and visitation, and child support decisions can be made. Our firm confidently handles these issues, along with modification and enforcement of any family law-related court orders.
