At Robert W. Hiatt, P.C. in Staten Island, New York, we help prepare separation agreements for couples with as much detail as divorce documents. Our job is to ensure that the agreement is enforceable and holds up to challenges.
Preparing Your Separation Agreement
In the state of New York, a divorce action based on irreconcilable differences simply does not exist. Essentially, you must allege a reason for a divorce. Separation agreements are a way to proceed with a divorce without making any allegations about the other side. At Robert W. Hiatt, P.C., we bring the same skill set in handling divorce documents as we do in preparing separation agreements.
In preparing your separation agreement, we focus on asserting your rights and create a document that is as enforceable as a divorce decree. We take a business-like, detail-oriented approach in creating what serves as a stipulation of settlements prior to the actual filing of a divorce. This "test run" will likely make your divorce action uncontested, as opposed to contested.
Separation Agreements Leading to Divorce Actions
After a year of living apart under the separation agreement, you can move forward with a divorce. Arrangements related to child custody, child support, and property division are finalized. Please know that we handle any post-judgment issues beyond the finalization of your divorce as well. We are your advocates throughout the entire process.
