This type of divorce is generally less complex and quicker than a contested one, as it doesn’t require a lengthy court trial. In Nassau County, you file your divorce paperwork with the Supreme Court, navigating through specific local statutes and requirements. This type of divorce is ideal if you and your spouse can communicate and compromise effectively, as it minimizes time, stress, and financial costs.

It is important to ensure that all agreements are comprehensive and future-proof, considering potential life changes such as relocation or job changes. We support our clients by drafting clear terms that reflect their current and foreseeable needs and by providing guidance on how to handle any post-divorce modifications that might become necessary.

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • 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.
