Mr. Levoritz advised and prepared me
for trial when my previous lawyer did not.

He took the time to read transcripts and review evidence. In just a few hours, he was more prepared than the lawyer I had. He also gave me a second opinion that put my mind at ease. After all the time he spent helping me, I offered to compensate him for his efforts, but he refused. Now I know there are still good people in this world and Mr. Levoritz is undoubtedly one of them. I cannot thank him enough.

Yoni and his team were an amazing support
in a high-conflict custody battle resulting…

… from an assault during a custody exchange. Yoni ensured an order of protection was maintained for me throughout the process and guided me on the appropriate steps to take throughout the course to ultimately settle with my son’s mother with a custody stipulation that protects my son, maintains safe boundaries in place for me and my family, and dictates safe guards so that decision making for important matters is not controlled by vindictive decisions. I couldn’t recommend the Levoritz Law Firm enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Levoritz Law Firm, we understand that navigating family law matters can feel overwhelming. To help you feel informed and confident, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about high-net-worth divorce, custody, and other family law concerns. Explore below to learn more about your options.

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.

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.

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.

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.
