Will I be liable for palimony if I accept my girlfriend's invitation to relocate to her residence?

Morghan Leia Richardson
Answered by attorney Morghan Leia Richardson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richardson Legal PLLC
New York law generally doesn't provide for palimony and in NJ where it has been more common, some new laws and rules have made it much more difficult to obtain. If you are getting married, consider a prenup to protect your assests. If you aren't getting married, consider entering into a contract or lease so that the terms of the living arrangement are spelled out. Good luck.

Can I change locks on our apt in our 2 family home and send husband to upstairs unit where his mother lives?

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
Assuming you both own the house equally, you cannot evict him without a court order. You can go to Family Court and try to get a restraining order preventing him from being in your house if you have proof that he stole from you and are afraid he will continue to steal. You can also go to Supreme Court and start a partition action against him which essentially asks the court to divide the house in half. Although that rarely happens, in this case it actually could (although your mother-in-law's presence complicates things). The other possible result of a partition action is a sale of the house and the division of the proceeds. It would be best for you to buy him out, if you can. But a partition action really makes no sense if you're starting a divorce action, because the house is marital property subject to dispositon in the divorce action. You may eventually get the whole house in a divorce action, depending on all the other factors involved, but divorce and division of marital property don't happen quickly unless both parties agree to the terms of the divorce quickly.

If I divorce and move out of New York will I lose the chance of getting primary custody of my 5 year old daughter

Seth David Schraier
Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
The test that the court in New York applies in all custody cases is what is in the "best interests" of the child.  The fact that you are contemplating moving out of New York does not necessarily mean that you will not be able to win custody of your daugther.   The best way to avoid any complications is to speak with your husband about your desire to relocate with your daughter and work out a written agreement that includes parenting time for the father so he will still feel a part of your daughter's life.  It is recommended, however, that you have an attorney draft any agreement so that it conforms to the law and minimizes any future issues between you and your husband.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
