We Provide Experienced Divorce Services

Divorce is a profound change in a family's life. The decision to end a marriage and begin a new life is difficult, confusing and often bring out acrimony of partners who choose to manipulate the system in order to act punitively against each other. Good legal representation is required to ensure a fair resolution and provide a springboard to a new life and a sound financial future. New York no-fault divorce law attorney Elan Wurtzel is sensitive and dedicated to your needs. He will vigorously defend your interests. After more than 25 years of helping New York families to resolve family disputes quickly and efficiently, New York divorce lawyer Elan Wurtzel has learned first-hand that issues of divorce must be decided only by the correct interpretation and application of New York law.

New York's No-Fault Divorce Law

In October 2010, New York state divorce law was modified to include no-fault divorce. Prior to October 2010, people who wanted to divorce would have to prove grounds for the divorce. Adultery, for example, could be grounds for divorce. Now, with the recent law, it is not necessary to prove grounds. Additionally, there are new temporary spousal maintenance standards and the presumption that the spouse with more money pays the attorney's fees.

Our chief goal at the Law Offices of Elan Wurtzel, P.C., is to pursue and negotiate an equitable distribution of assets and protect the willing participation of parents in the lives of their children. Our law firm offers legal counsel across the broad spectrum of serious family law issues, including:

• Divorce
• Child custody, support and visitation: New York courts support the rights of both parents to participate in their child's life. A child custody and support arrangement should always be in the best interest of the child; when a parent uses a child to punish a partner; swift legal intervention is needed to protect your rights.
• Spousal maintenance / alimony
• Separation
• Equitable distribution of property
• Prenuptial agreements
• Post-judgment issues - Modification, enforcement and termination of decrees

New York divorce attorney Elan Wurtzel recognizes the emotional component of any family proceeding and is sensitive to the needs of clients who require compassionate personal service from a divorce attorney willing to explain clearly their rights, their options and the consequences of their decisions.
