Divorce and child custody, visitation, and support issues are some of the most devastating challenges people will have to face. We will protect your rights with our experience with each of these.
The Law Office of Jonathan Victor PLLC provides competitive rates for uncontested divorces and makes sure that the 20-30 documents are filed with the appropriate court and served properly so that a divorce can be granted. At the same time, the firm makes sure that its clients' interests are protected when negotiating any settlement. Especially if children are involved, you will want to make sure you include the statutory language needed for child support guidelines and any deviation from them.
In New York State, courts have broad discretion to "undo" or decline to enforce a Separation Agreement or Stipulation of Settlement where judges think that one party was taken advantage of, that children do not have enough child support, or if one party did not know what he or she was signing. As your Pawling, Dutchess County matrimonial and divorce lawyer, I insert strong language into all agreements and stipulations to help prevent this from happening, such as language advising pro se (without an attorney) spouses that they must acknowledge their right to hire an attorney.
Sometimes, matrimonial and family issues include the need for judicial intervention. This results in a contested divorce, and as your Pawling lawyer, I am ready to fight. Other times, the Family Court may need to resolve ancillary issues. These include child custody, child visitation, child support, and possibly even restraining orders or orders of protection! If you are in a situation where you have been served with legal documents, or are being taken advantage of by a divorcing spouse, then you need to contact an attorney right away to get the help you need.
Family Court can also provide a forum for resolving issues between unmarried parents. These too include child custody, child visitation, child support, and possibly even restraining orders or orders of protection. Generally, Family Court procedure is more expedited than Supreme Court, and sometimes more cost-efficient so you need to move quickly to make sure your rights are protected and make sure your Petition meets all legal requirements!
