How to File for Divorce in Kings Park, NY

First, you should organize and prepare your financial documents. Your attorney will need a number of documents from you, for example, your tax returns, your W2 statements, your bank statements and retirement information.

The next step to decide is whether you will have a contested or uncontested divorce, or you may consider a less aggressive, more collaborative approach though divorce mediation.

An uncontested divorce is when both spouses agree on every issue involving the divorce. Most uncontested divorces occur where there are no children and no assets to divide. In the situations where there are children or assets, then an uncontested divorce means that before an attorney is retained, the divorcing couples agree on everything: spousal support (alimony), child custody, division of property and child support.

A contested divorce is when the parties cannot agree on one or more issues involved in their divorce. It can be a “simple” item, like personal property, or it can be virtually every issue involved in a divorce: child custody, child support, alimony, division of property, and the division of debts.

Mediation is when both parties meet with a trained professional (who does not have to be an attorney, but should be) to work out the issues involved in their divorce. The professional acts a neutral person to guide the divorcing couple in resolving the issues.

Whether you decide to have a contested, uncontested divorce, or to go through divorce mediation, it’s important to have an experienced divorce lawyer with experience in Kings Park, NY.

The New York courts will require you to fill out a large amount of documentation.

After all the documentation is filled out, the next step is to serve your spouse with the forms in person. You are not permitted to serve your spouse; that must be done by a third-party and it is important that service is done properly.  This is why it is not recommended that you just give the divorce papers to a friend to serve them upon your spouse.

Filing for divorce on your own can be stressful, and mentally draining. Hiring a Kings Park divorce attorney to handle your divorce case will give you peace of mind and help speed up the process while ensuring your unique needs are prioritized.
