Assets in divorce

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
If it's for the purpose of equitable distribution, yes, it's wrong. Inheritance is separate property.

Does a working spouse in new york have to give 50% of her pernsion to the other non working spouse who refuse to seek employment.

Alfred Joseph Polizzotto
Answered by attorney Alfred Joseph Polizzotto
Divorce lawyer at Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC
In New York, if a divorce has commenced, the portion of the pensions of the parties that were accumulated during the marriage are considered marital assets subject to equitable distribution.  In other words, they are subject to being divided.  The fact that one spouse is working and the other is unemployed will normally not effect any such distribution of assets.  However, if it is shown that there is in effect, "marital waste", which was resulted from one parties refusal to seek employment, then potentially there may be a distribution of those assets which is not equal and favors the party who accumulated the pension benefits. If there are not enough factors to establish "marital waste", then the pension will be distributed in the proportions determined by the Court.  New York is not automatically a 50/50 division state, i.e. not community property, but the longer the marriage, the close the Court will likely find to such a 50/50 split. There are other factors which should be looked at in dividing pensions such as survivor benefits and choice of options in selecting pension options at retirement. An experienced attorney specializing in matrimonial law should be consulted before any actions are taken. - Alfred Polizzotto, III

Howard Edward Knispel
Answered by attorney Howard Edward Knispel (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Howard E. Knispel, P.C.
How olde are the children?  Are they living with you in PA.? If they are living with you in PA for over 6 months, and are not emancipated, you can file for child support in PA. If you want to re-open the divorce in NY because you were never served, you can do so by motion.

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.
