Why Are Some Divorces More Complicated Than Others?

Family Law Lawyer Westchester County New York

Consider two couples in Westchester County, and think about whose divorce will be simpler. The first are young, and only recently married, they share a small apartment that they are still paying off the mortgage on, with their two young children. The second is a wealthy couple whose kids are already off in college or have jobs of their own, though they have loaned the eldest their condo in Queens since they already have a house upstate and one in a White Plains suburb.

So, which is more complex? Unfortunately, there is no right answer. Both have factors that can significantly complicate and prolong the divorce process, such as multiple properties, considerable debts, small children and more. Either could also easily become more difficult if there is animosity in the couple.

What makes for truly complex divorces, however, is the accumulation and combination of these complicating factors. Especially since each case is unique, both in terms of the elements at stake in the divorce and the couple’s personal history that brought them to this point. Therefore, whether you realize it or not, it is vital to contact a skilled family law lawyer with substantial divorce experience to handle your case before you end up ignoring some complications and suffering the consequences.

What Are The Most Common Divorce Complications In White Plains Family Law Cases?

The examples above hint at some of the most common areas of contention in Westchester divorces, but it is essential to break them down and consider approaches that can help resolve them with the assistance of a skilled family law attorney. Throughout his decades of experience, Westchester County divorce lawyer David Bliven has seen and dealt with all of the following:

Every couple will have to deal with money and property during divorce; there is no escaping the division of assets, but some in Westchester will have a lot more to worry about than others. Figuring out whether to divide the value of a family home by selling it, having one buy the other out, or coming to some additional arrangement is tough; doing it across multiple properties can be even more so.

Assets like real estate property are not the only thing that needs to be divided either, debts taken on during the marriage often belong to both partners and need to be split or otherwise divided accordingly. The most experienced New York family law and divorce lawyers, however, know how to turn these complications into advantages. After all, the more assets there are involved, the more leverage you might have to negotiate for the outcome you want on these, or any other complex divorce questions.

Emotionally, one of the most challenging topics in divorce is often your children. Gone are the days when courts consistently favored one parent over another for custody; now, they encourage parents to both remain in the lives of their children. That means that in addition to fighting over primary legal and physical custody (or coming to terms on joint custody), you will almost certainly also have to organize visitation agreements and all the gnarly scheduling details and conditions that go with it.

The critical thing to remember here is that the courts will always prioritize the child’s best interests and well-being first, though a skilled lawyer will know how to advocate for your rights and perspective with that in mind.

While it is rarely easy to agree on the questions above and all the other details of a divorce, doing so allows you to get an uncontested Divorce. This procedure is less expensive and far faster than going to court, and many Westchester County families will be able to do so, especially with the assistance of a skilled family law attorney. Those who do not face the prospect of a drawn-out and extremely costly contested divorce in a New York court.

There are ways to avoid a contested divorce, even when you and your spouse seem unable to agree on anything. Pursuing mediation, or even arbitration, with the guidance of a trustworthy family law attorney could make the difference between a burdensome contested divorce and a far more straightforward uncontested one.
