Our experience winning strong results in highly contested marriage dissolution cases encourages meaningful negotiations and serves as insurance for our clients if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Regardless of the forum, our Long Island divorce lawyers approach matters of property and child custody by focusing on our clients’ well-being during the divorce process and long after the marriage has been dissolved. Located in the heart of Long Island, our Melville firm features seasoned attorneys who thrive on helping clients achieve their goals.
For more than 30 years, our Long Island divorce firm has built a reputation for providing effective solutions in all types of family law matters. When spouses agree on key issues, we guide them through the uncontested divorce process. Should differences exist, our firm frequently utilizes mediation and other out-of-court options to finalize a resolution while minimizing conflict and delay. If a simple divorce isn’t possible, our trial attorneys are equipped to handle complicated matters involving finances and parental rights.
When you are facing the end of a marriage, working with an experienced Long Island divorce lawyer can help you understand your rights and navigate New York’s divorce laws. New York allows fault-based and no-fault divorces. Most couples today choose the no-fault option by citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage for at least six months. However, fault grounds still exist and may be relevant in certain cases, including cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment for at least one year, or adultery.
To file in New York, parties must meet residency requirements. Generally, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for a continuous year before filing and have a connection to the marriage (such as being married in New York, having lived here as a married couple, or the cause of action arising in the state). Alternatively, if both spouses are New York residents when the case begins, no minimum duration is required. These rules apply equally across Nassau County and Suffolk County.
