Divorce

The end of a marriage involves difficult decisions about your future. As a divorce attorney, Maureen A. McCready helps you navigate the intricacies of New York’s divorce laws, including no-fault divorce. Our team will guide you through the equitable distribution of assets and debts, spousal support, and other financial matters. Our goal is to help you reach a peaceful resolution, whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. 

Legal Separation 

For couples who wish to live apart while remaining legally married, a legal separation can be a viable alternative to divorce. This court-ordered agreement defines the rights and responsibilities of each spouse regarding finances, property, and child custody. We can help you negotiate and draft a comprehensive legal separation agreement that addresses your unique circumstances, whether you are using it as a step toward divorce or for moral or religious reasons. 

Child Custody

For parents, nothing is more important than the well-being of their children. Child custody is often the most difficult issue in a divorce or separation. As an experienced child custody lawyer, Maureen A. McCready understands the need to create a stable and safe home environment for your child. We will work to craft agreeable settlements, and we have the experience to represent you in court to determine custody, visitation, and child support, always focusing on the child's best interests. 

Mediation

When litigation is not the ideal path, mediation offers a cooperative and less adversarial way to resolve disputes. Maureen A. McCready is skilled in mediation, helping parties find common ground and create mutually agreeable solutions. This process can be particularly effective for family law matters, as it allows you to maintain control over the outcome and work toward a sustainable resolution outside of court.
