“Litigate what you can’t mediate”
We bring the our successful litigation approach to the full range of issues faced by clients seeking relief in divorce and parenting actions, including custody, relocation, paternity, allegations of domestic violence, distribution of marital assets (and liabilities), alimony, child support, and the recovery of attorney fees. From complex asset division to challenging custody battles, we strive to resolve even the most contentious disputes through trial or negotiation.
Through our firm’s offices in New York and New Jersey and our close relationships with a network of experts and family-law specialists, we represent clients on all sorts of matrimonial matters. Moreover, we can address the full variety of issues that may arise in large-scale divorce litigation, such as tort litigation, taxes, corporate agreements and compensation, and intellectual property. The reach of the firm also allows us to address international financial and custody issues.
We also consult and litigate cases involving high-net-worth divorces where the breakups of these marriages often involve extraordinarily intricate financial enterprises and businesses. We strongly advocate our clients’ rights to real estate, private businesses, venture capital, stock options, deferred compensation, and other income. We utilize technical knowledge in gathering the financial data needed to bring about a successful resolution of these matters.
Our practice also helps parents resolve custody matters even when they involve challenging issues of relocation, abuse, or child abduction.
In addition to divorce and custody matters, we encourage couples to negotiate and draft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Our approach to such agreements is critical as they often face legal challenges. It is for this reason that we craft documents that maximize the ability to enforce them with a minimum of disruption and expense.
We are particularly committed to using our experience to influence productive resolution conversation and advise our matrimonial clients to put principal and emotion aside in the interests of amicable resolution – particularly when there are children involved.
