Child Support
There are few issues that lead to more contention than those related to the children in a divorce. When the court must make a decision about the amount of child support to be paid, if any, there is a set of criteria that is followed. Find out about how New York law will impact your case, and whether you could pursue a settlement that is more advantageous to you and your children.

When unreasonable demands are made, there is little hope of a settlement being reached without litigation. If this is your situation, our firm is highly qualified to prepare and present a professional case to the court, and to fight for your rights and interests.

We can help.

Divorce Modification
Once the court has issued an order in a divorce case, it cannot be altered or modified without petitioning the court. Even if your former spouse agrees to changes, if you fail to get the court's approval, you can run into serious legal trouble later. At Jonathan E. Kroll & Associates, PLLC, we address all post-decree matters, including child support, spousal support, relocations, custody and visitation.

High Net Worth Divorce
Those marriages between individuals that own a large number of properties, works of art, business interests, stock accounts and other assets should be carefully managed by a legal professional with insight, a strategic approach, and a track record of success in resolving high net worth cases favorably for clients.

Marital Asset Division
The law provides for an equitable distribution of assets in divorce. What this actually means can vary widely. Some may be forced to sell the family home to pay a settlement; others could have a more reasonable solution. Working with the opposing attorney prior to taking a case to court could be more effective in getting a fair settlement.

Orders Of Protection
Those who are victims of domestic abuse are truly in great danger, as statistics show. If you have been violently attacked or threatened, you must act at once to gain the protection offered by the law through an order of protection. Although this order cannot protect you from a person who chooses to violate it, if there is any violation, the abuser will be immediately taken into custody.

Paternity Claims
Are you concerned about a paternity claim? Whether you are a mother seeking child support for your child, or a father who wants to gain access and the ability to be a part of your child's life, it is necessary to establish paternity and present the case to the court.

New York state law allows for certain types of enforcement, including wage garnishment and others. We can help you if you are the target of an enforcement or need to get the money you are owed or other matter.
