Divorce & Separation Lawyer | White Plains Divorce Lawyer

Even if divorce is the best possible solution for you, it can still be an emotionally challenging time. It is wise to seek the counsel of an experienced White Plains divorce lawyer to ably represent you through this process.

At The Law Office of Marcia E. Kusnetz, P.C. , we have more than 30 years of experience guiding clients through family law proceedings, including divorce. We take the time to work with our clients and explain the legal process, the timelines involved, and any legal challenges they might encounter along the way. Our thorough preparation gives our clients the assurance that their matter is being handled appropriately. 

Divorce proceedings are typically made up of several other components, including:

• Custody and parental access
• Child support
• Interim and post-judgment maintenance/alimony awards
• Equitable distribution/determination of separate property
• The preparation of settlement or separation agreements

Following a divorce judgment, it might become necessary to pursue a Divorce Decree Modifications and Enforcement Lawyer  of the divorce decree. Our lawyers can represent you in the post-divorce proceedings as well.

We attempt to resolve as many disputes and disagreements through tough but fair negotiations. A settlement reached through discussion and negotiation may be more beneficial than a costly trial. Founding attorney Marcia E. Kusnetz has years of experience as a business negotiator, and is a skilled family law negotiator. However, if settlement negotiations break down, our clients are confident in the knowledge that they have retained an experienced trial attorney and advocate.

Settlement Agreements | White Plains Divorce Lawyer

A settlement agreement is an important factor in any divorce. This agreement represents the resolution of all issues related to the divorce, including child custody, child support, alimony/maintenance, testamentary rights, and property division. The settlement agreement is usually incorporated, but not merged, in the judgment of the divorce, and is separately enforceable as a contract. This contract embodies the resolutions to any and all disputes that arise in relation to the divorce. Ms. Kusnetz is an experienced contract lawyer, and is experienced in the preparation of such settlement agreements.

Separation Agreements | Rockland County Divorce Lawyer

When spouses are considering divorce, a separation agreement may be a chosen option, and is one that avoids litigation. This contract covers all issues arising out of the divorce, including alimony, child custody, parental access, support and property division. If divorce becomes a reality, the separation agreement can be used in the divorce judgment as agreed-upon resolutions. Having a completed separation agreement can speed up the process and cut the cost of a divorce.

One year from the filing of the separation agreement, the divorce can be finalized. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer at our office with any questions or concerns. One of the beneficial attributes of a separation agreement is that a spouse can continue to be covered by the other spouse’s health insurance plan until the judgment of divorce is entered.
