Services
Child Custody
Like divorce, child custody is almost always an emotional issue. The goal is to come to a custody decision that is in the best interests of the child while meeting the needs of the parents as well.
Child Support
There is a specific formula for child support in the state of New York that is based on the combined income of the parents, allowable deductions, and a percentage based on the differences in the two incomes and the number of children.
Divorce
The Law Office of Katherine Ryan, P.C., handles both contested divorces and uncontested divorces, as well as complex divorces such as high net worth divorces. Katherine Ryan understands the emotions which accompany a divorce and works hard to make the process as smooth and uncomplicated as possible for her clients.
High Net Worth Divorce
This is a type of divorce that requires skilled legal representation, as well as experts to evaluate the assets in the case.
Orders of Protection
Any person who feels threatened should always contact the police. Beyond that, an experienced family law attorney can help with an order of protection which directs one party to stay away from another party or to refrain from criminal behaviors. At The Law Office of Katherine Ryan, we believe you are entitled to feel safe and will use everything in our legal arsenal to ensure that happens.
Parenting Time (Visitation)
Visitation schedules can have a significant impact on children; therefore, it is important that the parenting schedule not only fit the parent’s schedules but the children’s schedules as well. When parenting time is being denied, our attorneys can address that as well.
Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreements
Many couples are now considering pre-and post-nuptial agreements to protect their assets in the event of a divorce. It is important to have skilled legal representation when negotiating these agreements.
Same-Sex Divorce
A spouse in a same-sex marriage who is encountering marital difficulties may have questions regarding how New York divorce laws apply to his or her situation. Katherine Ryan can help with experienced legal answers to those questions.
Separation
A separation agreement is a contract signed by a married couple that governs their separation, as they determine whether to stay together or divorce.
