Our Staten Island Divorce Legal Services
We handle all aspects of divorce, including:
Contested Divorce
If reaching an agreement with your spouse proves difficult, our skilled litigators are ready to fight for your rights in court. We’ll tenaciously advocate for your interests in matters such as:
- Property division: Ensuring a fair and equitable division of marital assets and debts.
- Child custody and visitation: Creating parenting plans that protect your relationship with your children and prioritize their well-being.
- Spousal support (alimony): Seeking or defending against alimony payments based on the circumstances of your case.
Contested divorces can be strenuous and full of conflict, but our legal team makes the process smoother.
Uncontested Divorce
If you and your spouse agree on all terms of the divorce, we can help you finalize the process quickly and efficiently, saving you time, money, and stress. We’ll prepare all the necessary documents and ensure everything is handled correctly.
High-Asset Divorce
We have a proven track record of successfully representing clients in complex high-net-worth divorces. Our team is adept at negotiating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, uncovering hidden assets, addressing financial misconduct, and identifying and valuing complex assets (including businesses, real estate holdings, and investments).
Legal Separation
If you’re not ready for a divorce, a legal separation from your spouse can be a viable option. We’ll draft a separation agreement that addresses your legal rights and responsibilities regarding finances, property, and children.
Post-Divorce Modifications
Life circumstances can change after a divorce. If your situation changes dramatically from when you signed your divorce agreement, our team is ready to assist you if you need to adjust child support, custody arrangements, or spousal support.
Orders of Protection
If you need protection from an abusive spouse, we’ll guide you through the process of obtaining an order of protection and represent you in court hearings.

Staten Island Divorce: Your Questions Answered
- What are the grounds for divorce in New York?
You can obtain a divorce in New York based on no-fault grounds, which means you don’t need to prove your spouse did something wrong. However, you may pursue a fault-based divorce under certain situations, including:
- Cruel and inhuman treatment
- Abandonment for a period of at least one year
- Imprisonment
- Adultery
- Living apart for at least one year after being separated
Fault may be relevant in matters like property division, spousal support, or child custody.
- How is property divided in a Staten Island divorce?
New York follows an equitable distribution model in which marital property is divided fairly — not necessarily equally. The court considers many factors when dividing property, such as each spouse’s earning capacity, individual needs, and contributions to the marriage.
- How long does a Staten Island divorce take?
The timeline of a divorce can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, whether it’s contested or uncontested, and the court’s backlog. It could be several weeks or several months.
- How much does a divorce cost on Staten Island?
Similar to its timeline, the total cost of your divorce will depend on whether it’s contested, the complexity of the issues, specific attorney fees, and whether any expert witness fees are required. To learn more, contact our Staten Island divorce attorneys.
