Suffolk County Divorce Attorney

Experienced Divorce Representation Focused on Protecting Your Rights and Future

Divorce is one of the most significant legal and personal decisions a person can face. The process can involve difficult questions about property, finances, children, and your future. Having an experienced Suffolk County divorce attorney by your side can help you understand your options and make informed decisions throughout the process.

At Lynn Poster-Zimmerman, PC, we provide personalized divorce representation to clients throughout Suffolk County and Nassau County. Attorney Lynn Poster-Zimmerman has been practicing family law since 1983 and helps individuals navigate divorce matters involving child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and other complex family law issues.

Whether your divorce is amicable or highly contested, having knowledgeable legal guidance can help protect your interests and work toward a resolution that meets your needs.

Collaborative Divorce

For some couples, they are able to amicably determine division of property and figure out child custody issues without having to go to court. This is called a collaborative divorce and is highly beneficial because it gives the couple complete control over their own lives, instead of decisions being made in court.

When a judge decides for you on critical issues, it can often mean that things do not work out as you had hoped. This could mean an unfair division of assets or custody arrangements that you feel are imbalanced. These are serious and life-altering issues that you may not want to place in the hands of a third party. Someone who is highly knowledgeable and has helped countless couples will be able to adequately show you your best options. It may be that divorce mediation is the right choice for you so that you do not even have to bother with litigation.

Grounds for Divorce

Divorce in New York may be granted under a no-fault action. No-fault divorce was signed into New York law on August 15, 2010 and became effective as of October 13, 2010. This type of divorce does not require showing proof that there are grounds for divorce. Either spouse may request for a dissolution of marriage simply based on the fact that they want to end the marital arrangement.

For cases that involve one of the parties being at "fault" for a particular action causing the divorce, the legal process is expedited.

Divorce cases based on fault require that one of four criteria are met:

  • Adultery
  • Cruel and inhumane treatment
  • Abandonment for a period of one year or more
  • Imprisonment for more than 3 years, starting after the marriage took place

A divorce may also be granted upon conversion of a written separation agreement to a divorce after living apart for more than a year. Having the right attorney is extremely important in any legal matter and especially so in a divorce situation. They can properly lead you to a solution that both you and your spouse are satisfied with. There is nothing more emotionally draining than a divorce settlement, especially if it drags on for years. Allow our team to negotiate and get you the results you want in an efficient manner.
