Divorce

The dissolution of a marriage can be complicated. Our firm strives to effectively guide clients through the process, explaining their rights and options along the way. We handle the divorce and all other issues that stem from the divorce, including children's issues, property division and alimony (also known as spousal support).

We handle complex child custody and child support cases, including cases involving interstate child custody issues, relocation, and disputes regarding child support. Our attorneys are licensed to practice law in both New York and New Jersey, so we are well-versed in the custody and support laws of both states.

Our attorneys also handle enforcement actions (if one parent isn't providing visitation rights or isn't paying child support), as well as modifications of child custody and child support agreements when a family's circumstances have changed.

We also handle paternity actions, which are filed in order to establish the correct paternity of a child. Once paternity is determined, the proper child custody and child support orders can then be issued.

Premarital agreements are enforceable both in New York and in New Jersey. Our attorneys have the background necessary to prepare and negotiate prenuptial agreements to protect significant assets, the interests of children from a prior marriage, inheritances, as well as business interests in the event of a future divorce.

Whether you are a victim of domestic violence or someone who has been unfairly accused of spousal abuse, The Kridel Law Group can help. Charges of domestic violence are often used improperly during a divorce proceeding to force a spouse to move out of the house during a divorce proceeding. If you are falsely accused, our lawyers will do everything we can to prevent the charges from harming your interests both in your divorce proceeding and in your life outside of your marriage.

Our lawyers also represent victims of genuine abuse, whether the abuse is from a spouse, a family member or an unmarried partner. Through plastic surgeon Russell Kridel, who is the brother of firm founder James Kridel, we help battered victims obtain free reconstructive facial surgery.
