Matrimonial and Family

BE TREATED LIKE FAMILY.  We have a genuine human approach to the practice of law.

LAWYERS WHO LISTEN.  We are committed to client communication.  We want to know how you are and want to be there to advise you.  We have clients with whom we speak everyday both while they are experiencing difficulties and long after their legal issues have been resolved. If you or your children are in imminent danger of domestic violence, we will respond quickly to help you secure and order of protection. New York is a no fault divorce state; we can advise you about the grounds for divorce - adultery, abandonment, cruel and inhuman treatment and separation agreements.  Matrimonial attorneys at The Wool Law Group welcome phone calls and email messages.

ACHIEVE FINANCIAL SECURITY.  The contemplation of marriage may necessitate a prenuptial agreement (antenuptial agreement) to define the property rights of prospective spouses. When a marriage dissolves, carefully drafted and negotiated separation agreements (stipulations of settlement) divvy financial rights and obligations. Entitlement to spousal support (alimony or maintenance) and the division martial property (equitable distribution) is subject to a variety of factors enumerated in the New York Domestic Relations Law.  Valuation of marital property is also at issue; we can assist with property appraisals and business valuation companies.  Matrimonial lawyers at The Wool Law Group will zealously advocate on your behalf to argue that the facts are in your favor.

BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR CHILDREN.  Kids are often used as pawns in the games parents play with one another during and after divorce. A child is likely to experience medical, educational and social setbacks when a family feuds. And while child support is based on a statutory calculation, under certain circumstances it can be negotiated and you deserve experienced counsel.  We work with law guardians and forensic psycholgists to ensure your child's wellbeing.  Whether you are involved in a paternity suit, PINS proceeding (person in need of supervision) and/or a child custody, visitation or child support dispute (upward modification, downward modification, child support enforcement), The Wool Law Group's most important goal is to make sure that your children are cared for and that they feel safe and loved always.

THE LAWYERS' LAWYERS.  When lawyers in our community find themselves with familial difficulties and/or matrimonial issues, they turn to The Wool Law Group.  This is perhaps our highest compliment. It should also be noted that the firm's founder, N. Richard Wool, argued one of the seminal cases in New York which held that a professional degree should be valued in equitable distribution.
