Kingston Divorce Lawyer
Although we wish we could tell you that an uncontested divorce is easy, quick and cheap, that is rarely the case in New York. Our state requires grounds for divorce and this, along with all important issues of custody, property and support, must be clearly established to obtain divorce in less than one year.
Often, couples who essentially agree to divorce cannot resolve related disputes without the help of legal counsel. The more skilled and knowledgeable your divorce lawyer or mediator, the better your chances become of minimizing conflict and reaching a fair and lasting settlement. Contact us today for a free divorce consultation with family law attorney Tom Vasti at our office in Pleasant Valley.
Genuine, Solid Counsel in Your Best Interests
Our law firm's communication style is empathetic yet direct. Mr. Vasti wants you to be informed, and he will also hear you out and shape an approach to your case that fits your goals. While we encourage reaching agreement and keeping negotiations civil, we must also protect our clients in this emotional time. We can help you get an uncontested divorce — or reach resolution another way — while guarding your interests.
Prioritizing Children's Needs and Our Clients' Futures
It is important to recognize that:
- Perhaps the most direct and cost-effective route to an uncontested New York divorce is to live under a carefully drawn-up separation agreement for one year and then file for a "conversion divorce."
- Reaching agreement on grounds for divorce and all major issues requires maturity and flexibility; uncontested divorce may not be possible if you and your divorcing spouse cannot communicate or if drug problems, alcohol abuse or domestic violence is involved.
- It can be essential to have an attorney looking out for your financial interests, even if you feel your assets are minimal, and our legal team will evaluate key issues including health insurance impact, division of debt and whether spousal support may be appropriate.
