Child Custody, Equitable Distribution in Divorce: Attorney Serving Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Goshen as well Ulster, Dutchess and Orange Counties
Divorce is rarely, if ever, simple and straightforward. It always takes more time and effort than the formalization of a marriage does. New York in particular is not a "no-fault divorce" state. A husband or wife seeking a divorce must have grounds for the marital dissolution. Living apart for a year, or "constructive abandonment," is conspired to be grounds for a divorce. To that end, many couples opt to establish a separation agreement that clarifies the financial and legal responsibilities of each party during the year of separation preceding a divorce.
