New York Divorce Lawyer

You may know about child support, but did you also know that there is something called “spousal support” that you may be entitled to? This would essentially mean that your ex-spouse would have to give you a certain amount of money every month for living expenses. Or, you may be asked to pay spousal support, and it is important to have a lawyer on your side who will ensure the amount of money you are paying – or getting paid – is reasonable. This will likely be determined by looking at how long the marriage lasted, how much each partner makes, and what the standard lifestyle has looked like throughout the duration of the marriage. 

Filing for Child Support

If you and your spouse had children together, it will be a top priority that they are taken care of. Whether or not you feel like you need their financial assistance, it is good to double check with a New York divorce lawyer to see what you may be entitled to. After all, your child’s wellbeing is the most important thing to look after in a divorce case. A skilled lawyer will ensure you have the funds that you need to continue all of your child’s normal activities and lifestyle, even if you don’t have the same paycheck as your spouse. 

Unfortunately, some marriages end because of messy circumstances. Sometimes, a spouse wants to file for the majority – or entirety – of child custody. It is absolutely crucial to have a divorce lawyer who knows the laws of your state and how to get the best possible outcome for your child or children. This is not something you want to leave up to chance, so it is important to enlist the assistance of a lawyer as soon as you realize you want to get divorced. Even if your spouse seems like he or she will cooperate, these matters can get messy quickly.
