Using Litigation to Resolve Divorce Issues in New York State
Some people believe that there is always a trial in divorce litigation, but this is not true. Settlement is always a possibility even after divorce litigation has been initiated. In fact, most divorce matters in New York State settle before or even during trial. If your divorce is complex, trial preparation may be the key to achieving a favorable settlement, as it can help arm our team with all of the financial information that we need to establish and prove your case.
Another benefit of New York State divorce litigation is the opportunity to involve a judge, court attorney, or a referee to resolve issues between you and your spouse that you might not be able to resolve on your own. If your spouse is dragging their feet to get the process going or complete it, the court will impose deadlines for the exchange of financial information. Put another way, if you think that your spouse will not willingly share all financial documents with you or operate with complete transparency in a timely manner, litigation is essential.
In the case of an “unfit parent,” the unfit parent will generally not understand or admit to the severity of their actions and/or issues. The unfit parent is also unlikely to believe that their issues place their children at risk, which would prevent them from being awarded legal or physical custody of their children. Litigation may be necessary to resolve these impasses.
