Brooklyn, New York Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
An uncontested divorce is a divorce where both parties are in agreement and are ready, willing and able to cooperate with each other. Uncontested divorces offer great advantages in terms of speed, low cost and certainty of result since the two parties are not litigating.
When both parties are willing to work together to resolve differences in an amicable fashion, we can rapidly prepare all the necessary legal documents. Both parties then need only to sign and notarize the divorce documents so we can submit them to the court. Another advantage is that often you do not have to make a court appearance which saves time and money.
For more than 25 years, I have been providing expert guidance to clients throughout the New York metropolitan area in need of a skilled uncontested divorce lawyer. I make sure all the necessary issues are resolved prior to filing the divorce papers, including:
- Child visitation and custody
- Child support
- Property distribution and asset division
- Alimony / spousal support / maintenance
Despite the relative ease of uncontested divorces, a lawyer is still needed to expertly work through the issues. Both contested and uncontested divorces involve the same issues of child support and visitation, child support, property distribution and spousal support. The difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce is that the two parties to an uncontested divorce have mutually agreed in order to avoid litigation.

I Work Toward Making the Process as Painless as Possible
My mission is to prepare and process uncontested divorces in an expeditious manner so the parties can move on with their lives as soon as possible, with the least possible cost financially, emotionally, and psychologically. Uncontested divorces also spare children from being subjected to a custody dispute.
I do find that when parties have an agreed divorce, it is preferable to having a stranger, such as a judge, make a final determination on people's lives when he doesn't even know the two people involved. Unfortunately, though, uncontested divorces are not always possible. In these cases, I will represent you in a contested divorce.
