Family Law

Nyack Family Law Attorneys

Through proper execution of premarital agreements, individuals and couples can be prepared for the unexpected with a clear understanding of what will happen to assets in a marriage in the event of a divorce.

These and many other matrimonial legal matters are at the heart of the family law practice of McCormack & Phillips, Attorneys at Law, in Nyack, New York. Contact us to schedule a consultation with a lawyer to discuss legal issues such as the following:

• Divorce
• Equitable distribution of assets
• Child custody
• Child support
• Spousal support (alimony)
• Post decree modifications

Avoiding Potential Problems in the Path Ahead

In our Rockland County law practice, we make a point of helping people avoid potential problems wherever possible. For example, if divorce seems to loom ahead as an inevitability, a postnuptial agreement may be a useful tool to set the stage for an equitable resolution when the marriage ends.

Preparing Smartly for Divorce or Separation

Other examples of our proactive approach include advice for parents on how to increase the likelihood that they will be granted custody or ample visitation / parenting time with children when spouses separate or divorce.

We Handle Complex Family Law Matters

Sometimes, clients have concerns that fall in the realm of estate planning rather than family law per se. Complex issues may arise when one spouse is disabled, for example. We may refer such people to lawyers whose focus is estate planning, while we handle the family law aspects related to divorce and child custody.

Our years of experience representing thousands of clients in family law courts enables us to advise new clients on the most likely routes to successful outcomes in family law matters. People who are prepared to act fairly, prudently, and responsibly may be good candidates for a collaborative law solution.
