Manhattan No Fault Divorce Lawyer

What is a no fault divorce?

For many years our state did not recognize a no fault divorce and in fact was the last to do so.  It is very recent (2010) that laws were passed allowing a no fault divorce which means that you no longer have to accuse your spouse of cruel and unusual punishment, adultery, abandonment etc.  It is acceptable to file for divorce based on an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. 

Even though it is now permissible to file for divorce on these grounds, many issues concerning child custody, child support, spousal support, visitation and asset and debt division still need to be resolved.  In a contested divorce, any number of these items may yet be unresolved requiring the services of a Manhattan divorce attorney to fight for your rights in court.  The court will make the determination for you on these matters so it is in you and your child's best interest to ensure that your attorney is knowledgeable and skilled in all aspects of the divorce procedure.

Protecting Your Rights

The time and expense that a divorce used to consume can be reduced dramatically with this new system.  It does not mean, however, that you should forgo hiring an experienced lawyer.  The attorneys at The Kepanis Law Firm feel very strongly about seeing to it that you and any children from your marriage are protected throughout the entire procedure.  They encourage their clients to make immediate contact with them either upon deciding to file for divorce or being told by your spouse that a divorce is imminent.  In this way, immediate action can be taken to begin preparing for a successful resolution.

Attorneys from the firm have been legal consultants to FOX News, CW11 in NY and Fox5 in NY which has given them a unique perspective about different legal matters.  This, combined with their years of experience in the field of family law, has allowed them to gain many positive results for their clients.
