Financial support after separation can affect both your immediate budget and your plans for life after divorce. An alimony lawyer in Long Island can explain Long Island spousal maintenance law and help you address the amount, duration, or modification of support based on your circumstances.
Few divorce issues feel more personal than deciding how your children will divide their time between two homes.

A postnuptial agreement lawyer in Long Island can help with drafting postnuptial agreements that address property, debts, business interests, support, and other financial concerns while the spouses remain married.
A prenup is not simply about preparing for divorce. A Long Island prenuptial agreement lawyer can help couples have important financial conversations before marriage, while drafting prenuptial agreements that address property rights, debts, businesses, and other assets they want clearly defined.
If you spent years building a company or professional practice, it makes sense to discuss what will happen to it before getting married. We assist with drafting prenuptial agreements for business owners & professionals and address issues that may later arise when enforcing prenups for business owners & professionals.
Significant wealth often means a prenup has more moving pieces, from businesses and investments to real estate, trusts, and future income. A high-net-worth prenup attorney in Long Island can develop high-net-worth prenup agreements around the couple’s particular assets, financial obligations, and long-term plans.
Sometimes negotiation reaches its limit and disputed issues need to be resolved through the court process. A divorce litigation lawyer in Long Island can prepare your case for a litigated divorce in Long Island while continuing to evaluate opportunities to resolve individual issues before trial.
For spouses who want greater control over the outcome of their divorce, mediation provides a setting to work through disagreements outside a traditional trial. Our Long Island divorce mediation services help spouses address financial and parenting issues and mediate a divorce settlement in Long Island with a focus on practical solutions.
A settlement gives you an opportunity to resolve important issues without asking a judge to make every decision for your family. A Long Island divorce settlement lawyer can negotiate and review a Long Island divorce settlement agreement covering property, support, custody, parenting arrangements, and other terms important to your future.
High-conflict behavior can make an already difficult divorce harder to navigate, regardless of whether anyone has received a clinical diagnosis. A divorcing a narcissist lawyer in Long Island can help you develop strategies for divorcing a narcissist focused on documented conduct, clear communication, financial information, parenting issues, and the legal questions affecting your case.
When a marriage involves substantial wealth, understanding what you own is only the beginning. A high net worth divorce lawyer in Long Island can address complex property and income issues, including the valuation of a business for divorce in Long Island, investments, real estate, executive compensation, and retirement assets.
The things you accumulated during a marriage often represent years of work and planning, so deciding what happens to them deserves careful attention. Equitable distribution in Long Island involves identifying marital property in a Long Island divorce while determining whether certain assets qualify as separate property.
A business may represent your income, years of work, and a substantial portion of the marital estate. A business valuation attorney in Long Island can examine ownership and financial issues and coordinate appropriate business valuation services in Long Island when determining the value of an interest for divorce.
A home, investment account, or other asset may have financial value as well as personal importance to you. We help clients with Long Island dividing assets in divorce understand how Long Island divorce laws regarding property affect classification, valuation, negotiation, and the ultimate division of the marital estate.
Retirement savings may be among the largest assets you and your spouse accumulated, even if retirement itself still feels years away. A Long Island dividing retirement assets in divorce lawyer can explain how retirement plans are divided in divorce and address pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs, and other benefits.
Equity compensation can be difficult to divide because what an asset is worth today may not tell the whole story.

A home purchased years ago, an inheritance deposited into a joint account, retirement savings, or a growing business can raise difficult questions once divorce begins.

We identify and classify assets, investigate separate property protection, address valuation questions, and examine proposed settlement terms. When appropriate, we also work with financial professionals to better understand complex holdings. A divorce property settlement can affect your finances for years, so we look beyond the immediate numbers. We want to know which assets matter to you and what financial position you hope to have when the divorce is finished.
