Which Divorce Option
Reflects Your Situation?
Contested
The anatomy of a contested divorce is disagreement. Either one spouse doesn't want the marriage to end, or you're not seeing eye-to-eye on key issues like child custody and asset distribution. I'm here to help.
Uncontested
On the contrary, an uncontested divorce involves a separating couple who are on the same page about major decisions. If this sounds like you, reach out to me to discuss your options for collaborative law and mediation.
Legal Separation
A legal separation allows you and your partner to remain married while choosing to live separate lives. Call my office today in Commack, New York to discover the advantages of taking this route.
