Divorce Law in New York
Divorce law in New York, explained in plain English by Hannah Schuster, Esq.
Divorce law in New York is the law of ending a marriage, and it covers more than the divorce itself. It covers how property is divided, whether spousal support is paid, where the children live, and how they are supported. Hannah Schuster is a New York attorney who explains all of it in plain English, tells you what to expect before it happens, and prepares every case as if it might go to trial, even the ones that settle.
New York is a no-fault divorce state, which means a marriage can be ended without proving that one spouse did something wrong. Property is divided equitably, which does not mean equally, it means fairly, based on the circumstances of the marriage. Custody is decided by what is in the best interests of the children, and child support runs on a formula, though the formula is only the starting point.
Most divorces settle, and many should. Mediation is not the soft option, it is the option that lets you keep control of the outcome instead of handing it to a judge. When a case cannot settle, Hannah litigates it, in Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, and she prepares for trial from the first meeting either way.
Hannah Schuster, Esq., is the founder of Schuster Law, known as Schuster Esq, and the voice behind That Lawyer Hannah. She represents clients in divorce, custody, child support, spousal maintenance, and orders of protection, and she mediates for couples who would rather negotiate a fair agreement than litigate one.
