Westchester County, New York, Divorce Attorneys
There is more to ending a marriage than just filing court papers. There is the complicated matter of planning the rest of your life. At The Penichet Firm, P.C. in White Plains, we help our clients create that plan. We offer full-service support that anticipates all potential complications and any issues that must be resolved.
Dissolution of a marriage requires the couple to create a child custody and visitation plan, divide marital property, and consider child support and other financial decisions. Sometimes — as when domestic violence is alleged — you may need an Order of Protection.
A lawyer's sound advice is critical if you are contemplating a divorce — even if you think that your spouse will not oppose the divorce. At The Penichet Firm, P.C., we can guide you through the process.
A Finding of Fault
Under New York law, a finding of fault must be made in order of a divorce to be granted. Relevant findings of fault include cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment or adultery. You may also be granted a divorce if you have been separated for a year.
A lawyer's advice is the best way to understand the role of fault in your divorce. Your lawyer can help you understand when you can fight and when you shouldn't. At The Penichet Firm, P.C., we have developed in-depth legal knowledge and trial advocacy skills over 30 years. These skills are an asset to us — and our clients — in divorce proceedings.
