Divorce

Westchester County Attorneys — Divorce | Matrimonial | Domestic Relations

Going through a contested divorce can be a difficult time in anyone's life. Having a lawyer that you trust and know you can rely on may help decrease the amount of stress and anxiety you may be feeling. At the Law Office of Grimes & Zimet, our lawyers are sensitive to the needs of individuals prior to and during the divorce process. We strive to make you as comfortable as possible by utilizing all available resources and maintaining an high level of organization throughout the entirety of your case.

By law, New York is not a no-fault divorce state. This means that you are required to prove a fault ground or you must have been legally separated from or lived separate and apart from your spouse pursuant to the terms of a written separation agreement for a year or more before a no-fault divorce can be considered. For more information about divorce in New York, visit our New York divorce facts page . Some of the fault grounds for divorce include cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment, constructive abandonment, imprisonment for a period of three years or more, and corroborated proof of adultery, which means adultery alone or even by admission is not considered sufficient for this fault.

Our firm assists individuals in both contested and uncontested divorces. In the case of a contested divorce, our attorneys can draw on a wide variety of experts to assist us with divorce proceedings. These experts may include pension evaluators, tax experts, medical or psychological professionals, business valuation specialists, accountants, and private investigators.

We also provide representation in many matters that are intertwined with divorce proceedings, such as child custody, equitable distribution (property division), hiding or dissipation of marital assets, and child support among many others.
