Experienced Contested Divorce Representation
When a divorce becomes contested, whether over children, money, or property, you need an experienced advocate who prepares every case as if it will go to court.
What makes a divorce contested?
A contested divorce arises when spouses cannot agree on one or more issues: child custody and parenting time, division of property or pensions, debt allocation, child support, or spousal maintenance. It can also arise when one spouse refuses to cooperate with service or will not acknowledge the proceedings.
Have you been served?
If you have been served with divorce papers, time limits apply. You must respond within the required period or risk a default judgment. Call or text us at 646-444-3120 immediately. We will review the papers, explain your options, and protect your rights.
How we approach contested cases
We prepare every case as if it may need to be litigated in full. That posture gives you maximum leverage in negotiation: opposing parties and their attorneys know we are ready to go to court. We guide you through the discovery process, negotiate aggressively on your behalf, and represent you at court appearances as needed. We do not recommend litigation for its own sake, but we never shy away from it when your interests require it.
Transitioning from uncontested
If your divorce began as uncontested but your spouse has now retained counsel or filed a Notice of Appearance, your case has become contested. Contact us right away. We will transition your representation under a signed retainer agreement and put our full resources to work for you.
