Divorce Lawyers in Rochester

Our Rochester Matrimonial Lawyers have experience handling divorces that involve extensive assets, businesses, medical and dental practices, valuable properties, private equity stakes, future employment compensation, and more. We can help you navigate the complex process of equitable distribution while keeping your best interests in mind.

New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property should be divided in a "fair" manner, not necessarily a 50/50 split. Our Rochester divorce lawyers are experienced in navigating the equitable distribution process, especially when it involves businesses or large assets. Factors such as the length of the marriage, the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition or growth of the assets, and the future financial needs of each party will be taken into account when determining a fair division. In cases with businesses or large assets, it is essential to work with an attorney who understands the complexities of valuation and asset division to ensure a just outcome for both parties.

Business valuation in a divorce can be a complex process involving the analysis of financial records, market conditions, and other factors. Our knowledgeable attorneys understand business valuations and can work with experts to ensure that your business is accurately assessed and fairly divided during your divorce.

Legal actions that may be taken to enforce a divorce judgment include:

• Filing a motion for contempt, which can result in fines or other penalities for the non-compliant party
• Requesting wage garnishment for non-payment of maintenance/spousal or child support
• Seeking a court order for enforcement of retirement distribution, or for the sale or transfer of property
• Asking the court to modify the judgment or order to address non-compliance

Enforcing a divorce judgment means taking legal action to ensure that the terms of the judgment, such as maintenance (spousal support), child support, retirement division, or property division, are being followed by both parties. If a party fails to comply with the court's orders, enforcement measures can be taken to ensure compliance.

Choosing the right divorce attorney is crucial for your peace of mind and the successful outcome of your case. At The Glennon Law Firm, P.C., we believe that a client must feel comfortable with their divorce attorney, and a certain level of trust must be present. The client and attorney must be able to communicate well, and the attorney must be willing and able to be available when and how the client needs. Our team members are dedicated to building a strong attorney-client relationship and satisfying these requirements.

Admittedly, we’re not be the right fit for everyone. Different firms are built to respond efficiently to different types of cases. For example, our firm is not the best choice for people who’s main issue in the divorce will be child custody; or if the parties are primarily arguing over debt. Although our team members can and do handle child custody issues as part of divorces, we are not built to argue over heated child disputes or the need to run to Court for orders of protection. Similarly, we do address debt distribution as part of any divorce, but our primary focus is on the issues most commonly found with gray divorces, divorces among licensed professionals, and business owners, or those with assets in dispute over distribution. That is what we are built to handle most efficiently.

There is no one-size-fits-all divorce firm, and it is essential to find the one that is right for your situation. If your case aligns with our areas of expertise and you feel comfortable with our team members, then The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. may be the right choice for you.
