Transferring savings, draining an account, or canceling a spouse’s health insurance during a divorce can have serious consequences.

New York’s “automatic orders” restrict certain financial actions during a divorce—including transferring assets, withdrawing retirement funds, and taking on unreasonable debt. They also require existing health insurance coverage to be maintained.

These orders generally bind the spouse filing for divorce when the case is filed, and the other spouse when properly served. Exceptions apply, including certain ordinary expenses.

Understanding these rules early can help protect your financial future and avoid costly mistakes.

At A. Cohen Law Firm, we help clients navigate divorce with clear advice and a strategy tailored to their circumstances.
