Maria Coffinas - Profile

Are you getting ready to initiate divorce proceedings in Brooklyn? If so, there are numerous elements you must carefully consider beforehand. At Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C., the legal team is committed to guiding clients through their divorce and other family law matters. In New York, one or both spouses must have been living in the state for a minimum of one year before initiating a divorce. Divorce can be filed on grounds of fault, no-fault, or based on a separation period of at least 12 months. New York follows equitable division principles, where each spouse retains ownership of the income they earned during the marriage and has the right to manage any individually owned property. However, during divorce proceedings, the judge will distribute property in a manner they deem fair, even if it is not precisely equal. Regardless of the nature of your divorce case or its complexity, the team is ready to advocate on your behalf. Reach out to Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C. at (888)539-1887 to arrange a consultation with a Brooklyn divorce lawyer.
