Family and divorce law covers legal matters that arise within families and households. In New York, this commonly includes divorce and legal separation, child custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, and the division of property and debts. It can also involve paternity, adoption, guardianship, and orders of protection. Some matters are resolved by agreement between the parties, while others are decided by a judge.
The organizations in this directory that list family and divorce work include solo practices, small and mid-sized law firms, and legal service providers that assist people with limited income. When choosing counsel, consider asking how much experience the attorney has with matters similar to yours, how fees are structured, and how communication will be handled. You can also confirm that an attorney is registered and in good standing through the New York Attorney Search before hiring.
