It’s quite common for issues to arise in the middle of the family law process. When couples decide to divorce, that decision involves everything from division of assets and debts to spousal support and child custody and support. Couples may believe themselves to be in agreement on these issues, only to find out that what they had verbally agreed to will negatively impact their quality of life.

As a skilled New York family law attorney with over 36 years of experience, Jonathan D. Katz provides compassionate, practical legal guidance and will resolve each issue in an efficient and thorough manner. We will be your advocate, helping you to resolve your property, alimony and child custody issues quickly and cost-effectively. We know how different circumstances affect the outcome of family law cases and we use this knowledge to find common sense solutions that work. We understand the laws as they pertain to New York specifically. Family laws are not the same for every state. For example, marital property is divided equitably in New York. This means that property and debts acquired throughout the marriage are divided between the spouses in as fair a manner as possible. This does not necessarily mean the division will be equal.

Getting the right family law advice can significantly impact the quality of life for you and your children for years to come.
