Navigating family law matters can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Below, we’ve outlined common questions about our divorce attorney and family law attorney services offered throughout New York and Connecticut.
What services does your family law firm provide?
Our family law firm handles a wide range of matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, and enforcement actions. We also assist with prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, paternity cases, and same-sex divorce.

What makes your firm different from other divorce attorneys?
Our firm focuses on sophisticated family law matters, including complex and high-net-worth cases. With decades of experience, we provide skilled negotiation and strong courtroom advocacy while also exploring alternatives like mediation when appropriate.
Do I need a divorce attorney for my case?
While not legally required, working with an experienced divorce attorney is highly recommended—especially if your case involves children, significant assets, or disputes. A skilled attorney helps protect your rights, navigate court procedures, and work toward the best possible outcome.
What are my options besides going to court?
Not every divorce requires litigation. Our family law firm offers alternatives such as mediation, collaborative divorce, and negotiated settlement agreements. These approaches can reduce stress, save time, and help you maintain greater control over the outcome.
How does a child custody lawyer help my case?
A child custody lawyer helps establish parenting plans, visitation schedules, and custody arrangements that prioritize your child’s best interests. We also assist with modifications, relocation issues, and enforcement of custody orders.
What does an alimony support lawyer do?
An alimony support lawyer helps determine whether spousal support is appropriate and, if so, how much should be paid and for how long. We advocate for fair outcomes, whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay for it.
What is a high-asset divorce & do I need a high-asset divorce lawyer?
A high-asset divorce involves complex financial holdings such as businesses, investments, executive compensation, or multiple properties. These cases require a high-asset divorce lawyer with experience in asset valuation, tax implications, and protecting substantial wealth.
