New York Contested Divorce Lawyer
A contested divorce happens when divorcing couples are not able to agree on terms of the divorce. Essentially, this is when one party sues the other in litigation. Our New York contested divorce lawyer can guide you through the steps of discovery, calling witnesses, making motions, and showing evidence before the court. For some, they are able to settle divorce terms without going to trial. In the process of a contested divorce for the state of New York, the steps involved usually entail one party filing for divorce, the other party being served divorce paperwork and responding, a request for judicial intervention, then a clerk or judge meets with both sides to determine which topics they agree on and which they do not.
In preliminary conferences, the judge often encourages the parties to resolve as many issues as they can. If there are unresolved problems at the end of their conference, a discovery is scheduled and a trial date set. As our contested divorce attorney explains, the judge may enforce temporary orders regarding child custody, alimony, child support, and child visitation. Discovery happens so each side can ask questions and get the answers they need for the contested topics. Our contested divorce attorney can get you prepared for the contested divorce process so you feel more confident about the steps to come.
