Contested Divorce Help from Albany Lawyers/Attorneys

Contested Divorce Lawyers Attorneys Albany Capital Region NY

While uncontested divorces are typically quicker and less expensive, an uncontested divorce is not always possible. In order to obtain a divorce in New York, you must resolve all issues ancillary to the divorce, which include, division of your assets, custody, child support, spousal support and payment of attorney fees.  When you cannot resolve these issues amicably with your spouse through negotiation, litigation may be necessary.

During the litigation process both parties will be required to engage in financial discovery.  Depending on the case, this may include the exchange of financial documents and/or depositions.  Depositions are when the parties are asked questions under oath. The discovery process may also include appraisals of any marital property and valuations of businesses.

After discovery is complete it is customary for the two side to try to reach an agreement.  If an agreement cannot be reached the case will proceed to a trial. After trial the Judge will render a decision resolving all of the ancillary issues to your divorce.

With the fate of your children and financial stability at stake it is imperative that you have a skilled and knowledgeable attorney on your side.
