Our divorce lawyer’s areas of practice
We Can Help With All Areas of Stepanian Law Firm
Contested Divorce
Divorce, custody, child support, and alimony cases are all tough fights to fight. The process is emotionally charged. It may feel like your very being is in peril. But it does not have to be that way. A strong, experienced, methodical contested divorce attorney can be the difference between prolonged chaos and a speedy return to normalcy.
Postnuptial Agreements
Similar to a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement is a legally binding contract and will be subject to review by the Court in the event of a divorce. It is best to have a postnuptial agreement lawyer draft or review your contract. Our Manhattan postnup attorneys will also inform you and your spouse of your individual rights and responsibilities.
Alimony Law
When you need an attorney to help you with alimony (sometimes referred to as spousal support or maintenance), look no further than the Stepanian Law Firm. Based in New York City, the Stepanian Law Firm is on hand to help you understand your rights and provide you with the legal representation you need to protect them.
Uncontested Divorce
To complete an uncontested divorce quickly and effectively, you must file the correct paperwork. Our uncontested support attorneys in Manhattan have developed a quick and convenient process to make your divorce more efficient and less costly. Our firm provides every client with personal attention to their case.
Settlement Agreements
A stipulation of settlement is a binding legal contract that details important aspects about you and your spouse’s life after divorce. Issues in a marital settlement include alimony, equitable distribution, and child custody/visitation and child support. It is important to hire a Manhattan divorce settlement attorney to prepare or at least review your agreement.
Annulment Law
Annulments in New York are generally more difficult to obtain than a divorce or legal separation because you have to prove that your marriage was void or never valid. If you want to file for an annulment in New York City, you must have a hearing. During the hearing, you must prove that the marriage was invalid.
Marital Property Division
Dividing your marital assets and debts accumulated during the marriage is one of the most difficult parts of a divorce, even if your divorce is uncontested. A property and asset distribution lawyer in Manhattan can present your case in a comprehensive way to give you the fairest and equitable distribution.
Parenting Agreements
Legal conflicts involving family relationships can be complex and emotionally charged, especially when children are involved. Parenting plans need to be durable, and both parents must have a solid understanding of their available options and applicable laws. If you are in a legal battle involving child custody in New York, you need an attorney you can trust.
Divorce Law
Any time a couple decides to get a divorce, the decision likely did not come easily. A divorce can upend even the most stable lifestyle. In many cases, divorce proceedings involve not only the end of the marriage, but child custody, alimony payments, and the division of property.
Child Support Law
egal conflicts involving family relationships can be complex and emotionally charged, especially when children are involved. If you are in a legal battle involving child support, you need a child support attorney in Manhattan you can trust. Stepanian Law Firm will help you successfully resolve your child support case and will work hard to provide the personalized, attentive service you deserve.
Separation Agreements
You and your spouse must have a written, signed, and notarized separation agreement to officially become legally separated. Separation agreements are contracts. They address complicated issues such as child custody, child support, alimony, and marital property division. A separation attorney will inform you of your rights and present you with options that fit your situation best.
Family Court
To start a family court case, you must first file a petition. In that petition, you must tell the judge all the facts and reasons why the judge should grant your petition.
Child Custody & Visitation
Legal issues involving a child can be complex and emotionally charged. At this difficult time for your family, you need the help of a custody attorney you can trust to handle your case with the utmost compassion, skill, and professionalism.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial or prenup agreement is a contract that is entered into before marriage by you and your soon-to-be spouse. In the contract, you and your future spouse disclose all property you own before getting married. You then describe the rights and responsibilities each of you will have during the marriage, as well as how you will divide your property in the event of divorce or the death of one or both of you.
