New York Divorce Settlement Agreement Attorneys
When you got married, very likely you did not think divorce would happen to you or that you would ever need to consider precourt settlement within the context of a divorce or separation. In fact, what people fail to mention when they cite divorce statistics - that half of all marriages end in divorce - is the obvious: that half of all marriages succeed in one form or another.
So why are you here? Even though you did your best to make your relationship work, you are headed toward divorce or separation. Now you want to do your best to make this transition as easy as possible on your family. Generally speaking, you have two options:
- Take your case to trial and roll the dice with your children and finances; or
- Find a New York family law attorney who has done hundreds of divorce trials - so you can negotiate from a position of power.
What no one seems to understand - until they've been put through the stressful circumstances of divorce - is that your attorney must be "trial-ready" if he or she is to negotiate an effective precourt settlement.
Negotiate From a Position of Power at Your Pretrial Settlement Conference
An attorney like this has done hundreds of trials, knows what kinds of orders are coming from the judges, and has leverage when the other side is bluffing and never goes to court. Only a lawyer who can actually handle a case at trial can get a precourt settlement with any success or regularity.
Being "trial-ready" is a good thing. In the end, every divorce lawyer knows that any outcome at trial is uncertain and that not being trial-ready is a substantial risk. We are trial-ready. And we know that in divorce court, there are unavoidable prejudices, biases and personal preferences at play. Don't roll the dice with your children, your finances or your life.
