Understanding the Different Types of Divorce
Divorce can be a complex and emotional process, and it's important to understand the different types of divorce available to you. Each type has its own benefits and considerations, and choosing the right approach can greatly impact the outcome of your case. At Law Offices Of Anthony J LoPresti, our experienced divorce attorneys in Garden City, NY can guide you through the various options and help you make informed decisions.
Here are a few common types of divorce:
- Contested Divorce: In a contested divorce, the spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues, such as child custody, property division, or spousal support. This type of divorce often requires litigation and can be more time-consuming and costly.
- Uncontested Divorce: An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues and can work together to reach a fair settlement. This type of divorce is typically faster, less expensive, and less adversarial.
- Mediated Divorce: In a mediated divorce, a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps the couple negotiate and reach agreements on various issues. Mediation can be a more collaborative and cooperative approach, allowing the couple to maintain more control over the outcome.
- Collaborative Divorce: Collaborative divorce involves the spouses and their attorneys working together in a series of meetings to reach a mutually beneficial settlement. This approach focuses on open communication and problem-solving rather than litigation.

What does a family lawyer do besides divorce?
Divorce is the primary reason people seek out a lawyer, but professionals in this field can also handle adoption and guardianships, child custody disputes, child protection, asset distribution, draft pre and postnuptial agreements, and settle legal disputes between family members. Additionally, Anthony J. LoPresti works with experienced forensic accountants and can investigate the actual value of yours or your spouse’s assets and property.

What if I signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?In many cases, having a marital contract prepared can make the divorce process much easier. However, depending on how long it’s been since you last revised your agreement, the terms set forth may no longer be tenable for your situation. It is possible to challenge the terms of a marital agreement at the time of divorce, but it is highly recommended you hire an attorney to do so. Likewise, you will want to hire a lawyer if your spouse is attempting to challenge a marital agreement you want to uphold.

My former partner has agreed to an uncontested divorce, do I still need an attorney?As mentioned above, it is always a good idea to have an experienced lawyer overseeing your case, even if both sides want to end things amicably. An uncontested divorce is one where both spouses want to get divorced and have agreed to fair distribution of assets, child custody, and other matters. The longer these cases go on, the more details begin to reveal themselves, and many couples find themselves arguing over things they never expected to. Having an attorney present can actually help maintain the civility of your divorce. Your lawyer can look at the situation without emotion and can help both sides find a reasonable solution.
