Property Issues for Non-Married Couples

Are You an Unmarried Person Involved in a Property Dispute With Your Partner?

New York laws regarding property division for unmarried couples are often unclear and confusing. If you have been in a long-term domestic relationship and are considering a separation, the law offices of Jonathan D. Katz will protect your rights. I have more than 25 years of New York domestic law experience and have seen the laws evolve over the decades.

New York has only recently adopted a no-fault divorce rule for married couples. For domestic relationships, however, all property is still considered personal property. Fighting to protect your interests in shared financial assets requires knowledge of the system and a skillful strategy based on what your local judges expect. I have extensive experience in courtrooms in Orange County, Dutchess County and communities throughout the Hudson Valley and the Catskills region.

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting my self. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution.

Jon's integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know whats important to you. You're not just a number. He is up front with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if thats truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for whats important to his clients.
