The emotions that swirl around divorce proceedings, even in cases where both spouses agree that it’s best to split, can often cloud judgment and cause people to make decisions out of the heat of the moment instead of what makes the most practical sense for their needs now or their future prospects. As your Harlem divorce lawyer, we’re the legally savvy, unemotional third party you need to protect everything you’ve worked so hard for and ensure you have the means for a bright post-divorce future.
New York is not a community property state for divorce. Rather than splitting marital assets 50/50, a New York County judge divides your shared money, property, and debts equitably (fairly). So, there’s a chance that you’ll walk away with much less than half. It’s our goal to prevent this from happening. We construct a compelling case justifying your proposed (ideal) split of assets to present to the judge. We also carefully weigh your shared debt obligations so you’re not unfairly responsible for debts that your spouse racked up.
Divorce isn’t just about dividing money and property, although this is a large portion of the process. If you share children with your spouse, there are also considerations regarding custody and child support. NYC family law judges make custody and support decisions based on the child’s best interests. We show why your requested custody arrangement is in the best interests of your child. And, if we believe you are entitled to alimony, we will fight for the highest possible monthly support or lump settlement. Our only focus is on getting what you want from the divorce.
With more than three decades of divorce litigation and negotiation experience, we know how to help people like you protect what’s most important to them in a divorce. Whether you want primary custody of your children or you are worried that you’ll lose your retirement accounts, our legal team can help negotiate a settlement that focuses on your best interests.
Are you contemplating divorce and want to weigh your options? Or, have you already been served with papers and need skilled representation? We’re here for you. Call the Law Office of Daniel Clement today for a consultation.
Very knowledgeable. Daniel made things much easier in my custody case. He helped me to prepare and with his recommendation we avoided going thru the pain of a trial.
Thanks a lot Daniel!
