what am i entitled to in divrce Long Island NY

Don’t Worry; We’ve Got You Covered

Divorcing your spouse does not mean that you will become destitute or that you will be financially ruined. The law in New York State provides mechanisms to protect you and ensure that you and your children have the resources to move on to a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life.

What Am I Entitled To?

Every divorce and family law case is truly unique. No two couples have exactly the same home life, upbringing, assets, property and attitude. Every person approaches their divorce with different needs, expectations and disposition to negotiate and compromise. All of these factors play a part in the divorce process and, ultimately, in the divorce settlement.

New York State Sets Guidelines

New York State, however, has set some standard guidelines Long Island courts use to determine the main areas of most divorce settlements. The three main areas are:

You Are Free to Make Your Own Agreement

While the state sets the guidelines, you and your spouse are also free to make your own agreements that work for your unique circumstances outside of those guidelines.

We will cover the main aspects of what the law provides individually so that you have an idea of the minimum you can expect to receive or pay. Click an image below to learn more about that aspect.

At one of the hardest and most stressful times of my life, it was so comforting to have a team at Hornberger and Verbitsky who ALWAYS responded in record speed to my questions, phone calls, emails or texts and who I felt really cared about helping me through this difficult time. It was a long few years and I am grateful to all of you. Thank you so much Rob, AnneMarie, Christine, Patty, Joan and Lawrence. Your guidance, professionalism and expertise is appreciated beyond measure.

I would give 6 stars if I could. I can't say enough good things about Robert and his firm. We were in a situation for over 2 years and I could have never made it through without Robert's experience and knowledge. He guided me through tough times when needed and his expertise could "read" the situation and make the next best move for me. He was tough when he needed to be tough (thankfully) and at the same time guided me through the process to make me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I would not want to go through this process without Robert and his team having my back. he helped move the case along and not waste any time or money. One last time, I 100% endorse Robert and his expertise.
