PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS – NEW YORK DIVORCE LAWYERS

It can be difficult to know exactly what to expect as the process of a divorce proceeds. For many, the decision to officially end a marriage through legal dissolution is one that does not come easily or quickly; similarly, the process of ending the marriage will not be done quickly or easily. There are several significant factors of a marriage that must be attended to before its termination can be completed – matters such as equitable distribution, spousal support, and in the case of children, child custody and support.

All of these are matters that could potentially complicate a divorce, particularly for women who may be used to the financial support and care of a husband who is no longer willing to provide in the same way.

In the termination of any marriage, there are stressors for both parties of a splitting couple. However, women often face an additional difficult hardship: navigating through a divorce while simultaneously attempting to figure out how they will regroup and make a life for themselves and their children. It is not uncommon for married women with children to retire their work and take on the full-time responsibilities of parenting and homemaking.

While this makes for an ideal situation in some marriages, it can become extremely problematic when a divorce becomes a couple’s reality. Suddenly the woman is left with the difficult task of picking up the pieces of her marriage while also trying to establish her future – both financially and emotionally.
