Divorce
​

Our matrimonial practice includes representing you in a contested or uncontested "fault" divorce, or preparation of a separation agreement leading to divorce based upon "irreconcilable differences" . Where one spouse is at fault for cruel and inhuman treatment such that it is unsafe or improper for the other spouse to cohabit with him or her then the innocent spouse has grounds for divorce. Other "fault"grounds include abandonment and adultery. If none of the fault grounds exist, but the couples cannot live according to their marital promises, then they may choose to separate pursuant to a separation and property settlement agreement. The attorney prepares and files the agreement. The couples then live apart for at least one year in accord with terms of the agreement to have grounds for a divorce which is tantamount to a divorce based upon "irreconcilable differences".
