When a child is age 12 or older, they may have a chance to state their preferences as to where they would rather live. A family court judge may take into consideration an expert, such as a mediator or family therapist’s findings when deciding on a custody arrangement. However, judges are not required to create a custody arrangement that is in line with what the child wants. Judges consider the child’s best interest, which may align with what the child wants, but this is not always the case.

Many of our clients who have not gone through the divorce process before are understandably intimidated by the process. Understanding the divorce process in New York can help you prepare emotionally and financially for what the divorce process will look like. The basic process of getting a divorce in New York involves the following steps: 1. The petitioner, or person filing for divorce, needs to meet the residency requirements in New York. 2. The petitioner will file a complaint that sets forth the grounds for the divorce along with additional required paperwork and filing fees. 3. The respondent will be served with the divorce complaint. 4. The respondent will file a response that often includes a counterclaim. 5. The petitioner will respond to the respondent’s counterclaim. 6. The parties will exchange documents and file any motions that are relevant to the divorce case. 7. The parties may settle outside of court, or the judge may order the parties to attend a mediation process. 8. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the case will proceed to trial.

Spousal support can be one of the most challenging aspects of finalizing a divorce. Spousal support is the monetary payment from one spouse to another spouse. The purpose of spousal support is to help the spouse with fewer financial resources maintain a lifestyle similar to the one he or she has during the marriage. The purpose of spousal support is not to punish a spouse or reward the other spouse. The goal is to help the spouse receive support temporarily until he or she can receive the training and/or education to earn an income. In some marriages, one spouse works while the other spouse contributes to the marriage in non-financial ways, such as by raising children or taking care of the home. In these situations, the court may choose to award spousal support for a more extended period.
