Question #291
My husband and I were married in California in May 2010. We bought a house in NY State, and currently reside there together, but are separating. He is moving back to California, and I will remain in our home in New York State. We may decide to get a divorce. Where should we file for that once we’re ready? I’ve noticed that New York State requires a separation agreement first. What legal steps should I be thinking about right now? Thank you!
If you have lived in NYS for over a year, you can file in NYS. You should start removing yourself from all joint accounts and credit cards in which you are liable. Loans etc. as well as collecting all your marital, financial documents, bank statements, brokerage statements, 401-k’s, etc.
Give me a call at 212-370-1660 to arrange for a meeting to discuss the matter in greater detail.

professional counselors - We can help your clients.
DIVORCE SOLUTIONS sm does not offer family mediation or marriage counseling. Our services are geared strictly to those couples who have decided that their marriage, for whatever reason, cannot continue and that they are ready to seek a divorce. Utilizing the most modern techniques of divorce mediation and supported by the professional experience of our specially trained support professionals, DIVORCE SOLUTIONS sm offers a sensitive, rational, and economical alternative to adversarial, divorce litigation. Our specially trained mediators hold advanced degrees in their fields of specialty, many of whom have themselves, personally experienced the despair, humiliation, frustration, and extreme financial strain of a divorce or separation.
DIVORCE SOLUTIONS sm offers a comprehensive and holistic alternative to a prolonged, “no-win” battle in court, in which each of the adversarial attorney's jousts and parries in the courthouse corridors for the “best” (i.e., financially most rewarding) outcome for his client. In contrast, the emotional lives of their clients and that of their clients’ children are generally ignored and, in most cases, become permanently scarred by the devastating experience.
DIVORCE SOLUTIONS sm provides a forum for the divorcing couple to resolve the myriad of problems and difficulties resulting from the parting of the two individuals. Under the guidance of a trained professional mediator, the couple is “walked through” the entire process, in an organized and deliberate fashion, with particular attention given to the emotional, financial, social, religious, and personal concerns of the parties and their children.
As a therapist, clergyman, or another professional counselor, you undoubtedly are faced with the problem of trying to counsel a feuding couple back together again. If that fails, sending them to seek legal advice in the adversarial system, a process you understand very well is not in either party’s best interest or the interest of their children.

DIVORCE SOLUTIONS sm is an alternative I would like you to consider for those who seek your counsel and advice regarding divorce. I welcome your inquiries and am eager to discuss with you any questions you may have. Please take a moment and look at some of the other features of our website for more information regarding who we are and what we do.
Franchises in other jurisdictions in New York State outside the New York City metropolitan area are available for qualified counselors and attorneys. For further details, please call Leonard M. Weiner, Esq. at 212-370-1660

Step by step, with the guidance, knowledge, and experience of the mediator, the divorcing couple resolves issue after issue. These resolutions are eventually incorporated into a Separation Agreement drawn up by our legal staff and serve as the basis for the final divorce. This Separation Agreement is filed on behalf of the divorcing couple, all at a fraction of the price (both in a financial as well as emotional sense) it would cost under the adversarial system.

Question #59: My state of residence is NY. After many years of living apart, I have finally taken the steps and have a legal separation with the goal of the divorce being finalized at the end of the year. My question is, I would like to purchase a new home jointly with another person. Since I am only in the separation stage, my partner fears that if something should happen to me, my “almost ex-spouse” would have claims on this home. Is this true? If so, what other options are there besides waiting until the divorce is final. Thank you.

Ans :
If you have a legal separation, you should review the terms of the separation carefully. Generally, the acquisition of property by each party is expressly discussed and usually provides that the other party will not have a claim to such property. Did you have an attorney prepare the separation agreement? Consult him/her to be sure. If no such provision is included in your separation agreement, you may wish to consider having another relative such as your mother become the acquiring partner until your divorce is final. If you are located in the NYC metropolitan area, give me a call at 212-370-1660 to discuss properly documenting your divorce, so such issues are taken care of before they arise.

Question #53
: My husband has a piece of real estate, which I have asked them to deed over to me to secure the payment of any settlement arrangement, but he has refused. What can I do?

Ans :
You do not need your husband to deed the property to you to secure payment. You have asked them to transfer the property to you when you need a security interest in the property, not ownership of the property. You should have requested from him a first mortgage on the property as security for the payment of the settlement arrangement. From the type of question you are asking, it seems that you have not begun an adversarial court process yet. I believe that mediation could be beneficial in your situation, and I strongly recommend that you contact an attorney-mediator in your area.

Question #183: My husband and I have been together for six and a half years. We have a four-year-old child. He has a home that he purchased in NY in which we reside. We now live in NJ in a home that’s in his name. We got married in June of this year, and everything seems to have gone downhill from that moment. My question to you is, am I entitled to either of the homes if we were to divorce now even though we’ve been together for years but only married for months? Please answer my question as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.
Ans :
You do not have any claim to property owned by your spouse before the actual, legal marriage. Even if he acquired the property during the marriage, he used funds he had before the marriage and kept the property in his name. It is separate property and not marital property, and you would have no claim to any portion of it.
You should be entitled to spousal support and should also get child support, however.
If you are living in the NYC metro area, please call me at 212-370-1660 to arrange for an appointment to discuss the matter in greater length.

Question #58: After one year of marriage, my wife committed adultery and wants a divorce. We have no children. We own a house together that has no equity in it as I used a VA loan with no money down. I understand that she has no sufficient grounds for divorce. We are selling the house, and as it turns out, it will be a reasonably hefty profit. Since I believe her contribution to the marriage was minimal; she only paid her half of the mortgage, and I paid all other bills and substantially all home improvement costs, is there any advantage to delaying the separation agreement until after the sale of the house. Certainly, she’s entitled to some money, but I don’t want to give her half of the profit. It doesn’t seem very equitable to me. What should I do?


Ans :
You did not indicate what state you were located in. In New York, which is an “equitable distribution” state, assuming you acquired the house after your marriage, your spouse would be entitled to half the net profits from the sale. However, you may be entitled to compensation for your separate contribution of home improvement costs and other amounts of money invested by you in the equity of the house. I strongly suggest you consider divorce mediation to resolve these and other matters outstanding (e.g., spousal support, division of other marital assets such as retirement accounts, etc.). If you are located in the New York City metropolitan area, please call me at 212-370-1660 to discuss further.
