Your Rights in a Contested Divorce: Understanding the Process

Navigating a contested divorce can be overwhelming, but understanding your rights is crucial to ensuring a fair outcome. At the Law Offices of Donald Mastrodomenico, P.C., we believe that informed clients are empowered clients. Here’s a breakdown of key rights you should be aware of during a contested divorce:

• Equitable Distribution: New York follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning assets and debts are divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. Knowing how this applies to your situation is essential.
• Child Custody and Support: Both parents have rights regarding custody and support. Understanding how these rights are determined can help you advocate effectively for your children’s best interests.
• Spousal Support: You may be entitled to spousal support (alimony) depending on various factors, including the length of the marriage and financial disparities.
• Legal Representation: You have the right to legal representation throughout the divorce process. Our experienced attorneys will ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
• Confidentiality: Divorce proceedings can be sensitive. You have the right to confidentiality, and our firm is committed to protecting your privacy.

Understanding these rights can significantly impact the outcome of your divorce. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through each step, ensuring you are fully informed and prepared to make the best decisions for your future. Contact us today for a consultation to discuss your unique situation.
