Divorce Law

At de Moya & Associates, I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals in Rockland County and the surrounding areas. The hallmark of my practice is my commitment to personal and professional service, taking the time to listen carefully to your questions and concerns, so that I can identify solutions that meet your specific needs. My goal, with every client, is to become the “family attorney,” the attorney that you call for legal counsel. Over 90% of my clients are referred by existing or former clients and other attorneys.

I work closely with individuals at all stages of a divorce or family law matter, from the initial filing of documents through to post-judgment motions for enforcement or modification of existing court orders. I handle all matters related to divorce, including:

• Child custody and visitation. I will help you establish and create agreements that are in your children’s best interest. I will work diligently to ensure that you retain a meaningful role in the growth and development of your children.
• Child support. I will review all proposed child support payments to ensure compliance with New York guidelines and that all appropriate income is included in the calculation.
• Spousal support or alimony. I will help you determine whether alimony is warranted and, if so, how much should be paid and for how long. I will carefully review all factors considered by the court when awarding alimony, including the length of marriage, age, health of the parties, earning capacity, and other factors.
• Division of marital property. I will help you create an agreement that equitably divides marital debts and assets, including real and personal property, investments and bank accounts, retirement funds and business assets.

For individuals who are not ready to divorce, or who simply prefer a legal separation, I will prepare agreements that include division of existing and future assets and debts, custody and access schedules in the best interests of your children, as well as appropriate support for parties and their children.

For individuals who are about to be married, I can help negotiate and prepare prenuptial agreements that will protect your existing assets, and address assets and debts acquired during the marriage.
