Divorce

Divorces come in all shapes and sizes. Some are completed in a matter of months. Some take years. This all depends not just upon the issues presented by each situation, but also upon the approach of the parties. 

If you are planning to divorce, you should first decide what you want to achieve in the process: set your goals. Then find out, in consultation with an attorney, if your goals are reasonable. Finally, assess the costs and effort required to achieve your ends. After focusing on realistic goals, work with your attorney to plan the specific steps you will take to achieve those goals, plan for contingencies, estimate how long it will take, and how much it will cost.

​The very simplest divorces in New York take three to six months, difficult and complex divorces take years. Planning and focus can dramatically shorten this process.
