Description: The matrimonial and family law group handles settlement negotiations and litigation in contested divorce actions, custody and relocation litigation, enforcement litigation, paternity actions, and the negotiation of pre and post-nuptial agreements. Because equitable distribution and valuation issues associated with the marital estates of high asset individuals have become increasingly complex, our attorneys have substantial experience in the areas of: Pension and retirement plans Tax shelters Professional practices and licenses Closely held corporations Stock options and grants The valuation of enhanced earning capacity and celebrity status The group also draws effectively on the firm's tax, trusts and estates, and litigation practice groups. Our philosophy is that the matrimonial cases we handle are not just about money, but also about the well-being of our clients and their families. Consequently, we are very concerned with providing sensitive advice and counsel to the individuals we represent, who are often at critical points in their lives. While attorneys in the department have been successful in the trial and appeal of matrimonial litigation, the department believes that litigation is the least effective way to achieve a desirable solution. The department has succeeded in settling over 90 percent of its cases.
