Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in New York
Do I need a divorce lawyer?
While you can represent yourself, having a lawyer is highly recommended, especially with children, significant assets, or contested issues. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring financial documents (tax returns, bank statements, pay stubs), property records, prenuptial agreements if applicable, and a list of questions and concerns about your situation.
