About Contested Divorce in Long Island

Divorce in Suffolk and Nassau Counties

The courts allow spouses and their attorneys to resolve issues to the satisfaction of both parties in order to end their marriage but sometimes divorcing couples cannot agree on the issues involved in a divorce no matter how hard they try.  One spouse may be unreasonable and unwilling to compromise in order to reach an amicable settlement.  If the spouses cannot resolve their issues after discussions, counseling and meeting with a judge, the court takes over and makes decisions for them. 

Any litigation, especially an emotionally charged contested divorce, can be exhausting both emotionally and financially.  A contested divorce takes a toll on all concerned, and bringing it to a resolution is urgent for the client and their children.  Representation by an experienced and skilled attorney is critical during a contested divorce.  It is important that you contact a Long Island Family Law Attorney who can effectively assist you to resolve the marital issues that will allow you to complete your divorce.  Our attorneys at the Law Offices of Scupp & Berman, LLP, provide high quality and personal legal support to clients to resolve their issues and conclude their divorce proceedings. 

Suffolk Family Law Divorce Issues

Often a breakdown in communication is responsible for disagreements on marital issues.  There may be disagreements on child custody or child support.  Equitable distribution of property, assets, debt allocation and financial matters are often hard to resolve.  The subject of alimony may be complex.  To resolve financial issues in a contested divorce, opposing parties are required to disclose all financial records.  The court then makes the financial decisions for the couple.
