Equitable distribution of property

In New York, marital property is subject to equitable distribution. The concepts of "separate" and "marital" property are important. Marital property is property, assets and debt that were acquired during the marriage. Marital property can include homes, vehicles, businesses, and even professional degrees and licenses. It is important to seek help from an experienced attorney who can protect your rights and take note of all your marital contributions. Property will be divided "equitably." What some consider fair may not seem fair to others. Mr. Field provides clients with realistic expectations regarding property division. He can eliminate the mystery and fear from the process.

Support payments

Financial concerns in divorce also include child support and spousal support payments. Child support follows statutory guidelines based upon factors such as number of children and each parent's income. Spousal support is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and is sensitive to the facts of the marriage, the earning potential of the parties, their educational background, career sacrificed during the marriage and the division of property.
