Family Law

At NoVa Law Firm, we have successfully dealt with divorces, guardianships/custodies, visitation, spousal and child support. We understand that this is a tedious, and sometimes painful, process, therefore, we’ve opted for methods that make these processes less difficult on our clients.

UNCONTESTED DIVORCES

If a couple seeking a divorce can agree to all the terms they can obtain an uncontested divorce. Once you retain our law firm we will go though the agreed terms and prepare your documents. Once the documents are signed by both parties we will submit them to court. After some months you will receive a “Judgement of Divorce” signed by the judge.

As of July 2011, New York State law allows couples to obtain a divorce without having to prove any grounds like adultery or abandonment. This “No-Fault” divorce in our state allows couples to get divorced without making any one party at fault. This law makes getting divorced easier, cheaper and less time-consuming.

LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP

When a child’s parents are unwilling, unavailable or unfit to care for their children for any reason, another adult may be awarded either a guardianship of the children or custody of the children.

A minor child who is under the age of 18 and is not married must have a legal guardian. Once appointed, a legal guardian has the same power as a child’s parent to make decisions for the child.

Anyone can petition the court to become a guardian of a minor child; however, before appointing a guardian, the court must hold a hearing to determine whether the appointment would be in the
best interests of the child.
