Long Island Divorce – The Issues You May Face

Divorce Attorney Serving Garden City, Five Towns, Roslyn, Rockville Centre, Woodbury and Great Neck

A divorce is the legal end of a marriage. It therefore involves terminating the marriage agreement and must address particular issues that are difficult to deal with not only because they will have a financial impact on both spouses but because they are also often emotionally charged. This is particularly true with issues that involve children. If you are considering or are currently going through a divorce in the Roslyn, Woodbury, Five Towns, Rockville Centre, or Great Neck area and are looking to work with a Long Island divorce attorney who will offer you the aggressive, knowledgeable representation you need to resolve these issues, you have come to the right place. Jonathan E. Kroll & Associates, PLLC is here to offer you the level of attorney representation you need to handle such issues as:

Child custody and visitation – if you and your spouse have children, you will need to determine whether you will share custody or if one spouse will have full custody and the other will be awarded visitation rights. This is one of the most difficult issues to resolve in any divorce.

Child support– depending on the custody arrangement, child support may need to be paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent after a divorce. This amount will be determined based off a set guideline.

Spousal support – will you need to pay spousal support (alimony) to your spouse after your divorce? Will you be entitled to regular payments from your spouse? The amount and duration of spousal support is another issue to be resolved.

Property and asset division – finally, you will need to determine what will happen with your house, your money, your bills and all other assets and liabilities upon the end of your marriage.
