In New York State the Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine actions for divorce. Parties that agree to resolve their issues can agree to enter into an uncontested divorce wherein they agree and sign off on documents necessary to achieve the divorce. An uncontested divorce is the most cost effective way to resolve the marital difficulties and move on with your life as you do not have to go to court or pay for your attorneys to make court appearances for you. Along with agreeing to the divorce, the parties will need to agree to all the ancillary issues such as custody, child support, maintenance/alimony, equitable distribution of the assets and debts, including the marital residence and pensions, counsel fees and any other ancillary issues to be determined. You can be divorced in as little as sixty days from the day you and your spouse sign the documents with the law firm. An uncontested divorce is a cost effective, fast way to resolve the issues while minimizing the acrimony and emotional pain and suffering that you would endure with a protracted, contested action for divorce.

If the parties cannot agree to get divorced, or they cannot agree to the terms of the divorce, the parties will need to institute a contested divorce action and must litigate the matter in court to seek a final resolution. Through the strength of litigation, the Law Offices of Paul A. Boronow, P.C. settles most actions for divorce without the need for a trial. If the parties refuse to settle, however, the court will hold a trial and resolve the issues between the parties and issue the necessary findings and judgment of divorce. If you are stuck with a contested divorce action, you need to have strong representation to bring the matter to a close as quickly as possible with as little expense to you as possible while maximizing your entitlement under the law. You can only accomplish a fair and fast settlement of your contested divorce through strong representation and aggressive negotiation. The court will require the parties to exchange pleadings in the form of a complaint and answer, conduct discovery as to the financial holdings and obligations of the parties, and ultimately require the parties to have a trial if they refuse to settle the matter.
