PUBLICATION DIVORCE WHEN YOU CANNOT LOCATE YOUR SPOUSE

If you are married but don’t know where your spouse is we can still help you get divorced.

New York law requires that we serve your spouse the divorce documents so that he or she will have an opportunity to respond.

Although, obviously if you can’t find your spouse then serving them the documents is not possible.

In New York, if you can’t find your spouse to serve them the divorce paperwork, you need to do a Publication Divorce. A Publication Divorce is the only way to divorce a missing spouse.

So don’t worry – even if you can’t locate your spouse – we can still help!

We’ve helped many clients obtain divorces without their spouses’ signatures.  The only requirement for a unilateral divorce is that you must not know where your spouse is located.

If you don’t know where they are and we can’t find them, then we can help you get a divorce without your spouse’s signature. They don’t even need to be served for that matter.  The publication of the notice in the newspaper acts to put them on notice. For more information on Publication Divorces, call us for an appointment at 212-608-1630.

Should You Have a Pre-Nuptial Agreement?

Marriage is most definitely an economic partnership and all parties to a marriage should have full financial disclosure of their fiancee's assets, debts and income before and during the marriage. A pre-marriage agreement, also known as a prenuptial or ante nuptial agreement, is a contract between you and your fiancee that addresses financial issues and any other issues that are important to you and your fiancee. These other issues may include children, religion, sharing housekeeping tasks and career support. Attached to the agreement should be a financial statement listing all of the assets, debts and income of you and your fiancee.


A pre-marriage agreement can determine what items are to be shared as marital property or what items will be owned only by one spouse and identified as separate property.


If you want more information about pre-nuptial agreements, call us for a free consultation at 212-608-1630.

Avoid the Expense and Aggravation of a Preliminary Conference

The preliminary conference is the first court appearance in a contested divorce.  At this conference, the lawyers for the parties explain to the judge what issues in the case are unresolved such as child custody, child support, equitable distribution and alimony.  The judge then sets a deadline for discovery, which is the exchange of information by the parties prior to trial.  Very rarely does the case get resolved at the preliminary conference.  The purpose of the preliminary conference is to set a schedule for resolving the case and to let the judge know what issues are in dispute.

If you and your spouse can resolve these issues together in an amicable manner, then the preliminary conference is NOT NECESSARY,saving the couple time, legal expense and aggravation.

If you desire a FRIENDLY, UNCONTESTED DIVORCE, call the dedicated staff at DivorceFilers.com today at 212-608-1630.

10 Reasons Why Divorce Happens

1. Lack of communication. This is one of the major reasons why divorce happens. Distance is created quickly if you don’t share your feelings, don’t tell your partner what’s happening, and keep your feelings to yourself. A successful relationship constantly keeps the lines of communication open.

2. Finances. Money talks and can make your life better or in some cases worse than you were. If money becomes a consistent topic of disagreement, the road to divorce is certain.

3. Feeling constrained. You may feel your marriage is holding you back from achieving goals and taking opportunities. If your partner can’t support you, then they don’t support the marriage.

4. Trust. Do you really trust your spouse? Trust is one of the leading factors in having a successful relationship and marriage. Your marriage is unlikely to survive if you don’t trust your spouse.

5. Expectations from each other. When expectations aren’t met, it can put a strain on the relationship. This leads to a personality conflict because one or the other spouse won’t bend to sacrifice their time and comfort.

6. Your spouse doesn’t understand / fulfill your needs and desires. It’s common knowledge that we all have different needs and wants. A partner who won’t acknowledge your interests and desires won’t go the distance to fulfill your needs and wants.

7. Quick change in lifestyle. Couples that can’t compromise and meet in the middle are unable to adapt to new changes and be together in harmony.

8. Insecurity. Jealousy and insecurity can lead to fights, and questioning each other’s intentions can put a dent into trust and your relationship moving forward.

9. Religious and cultural differences. Religious beliefs and cultural values can cause conflict, which affects the way you live your life and raise your children. If you aren’t committed to adapting and practicing these values, this can be an ultimate deal breaker.

10. Abuse. Lastly, if you’ve been in a situation where your partner has been abusive or controlling in any manner, discuss this rationally with your spouse. If need be, contact a trusted family, friend, or your attorney about this matter.

Comic Relief: On the Less Serious Side: A Divorce Joke

Sometimes, professionals in the matrimonial industry only stick to the dry material in their desire to educate the public with respect to divorce law and divorce procedure. This blog will occasionally tell a joke involving the issue of divorce simply in an attempt to "lighten the mood" and demonstrate that sometimes we must all take life a little less seriously. We call this occasional joke "Comic Relief" and here it is:

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?" 


She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"
"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.


 "I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"
"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents." 


He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"
"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."
"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."
"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"
"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do." 


Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"
"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!"

KEEPING THE DIVORCE PROCESS FRIENDLY

Divorce Does Not Have To Be Bitter

If you are married and socialize with a group of friends on a regular basis, at some point at least one couple if not several couples in that group will go through a divorce. It's inevitable. The divorce statistics are too high. Almost one in every two marriages ends in divorce these days and most of those divorces turn ugly. You know, you see it all the time. The "once" loving couple is now slinging mud at each other from across an expensive conference table in a high-powered attorney's office. But, it doesn't have to be that way.

• First Marriages: 45 percent to 50 percent end in divorce
• Second Marriage: 60 percent to 67 percent end in divorce
• Third Marriage 70 percent to 73 percent end in divorce [1]

The following scenario is typical of the type of divorce this firm handles through the eyes of the wife. It is based on the concept that couples do not have to hate each other or be bitter through the process of divorce:

Now, we're getting divorced. And are we sad? Sure. Am I blaming my husband for the divorce? Absolutely not. Is he blaming me? No. We tried to fix it but it didn't work. We loved each other and spent 12 years together but we shouldn't be married anymore. The best part is that we are taking responsibility for our part in the breakup of the marriage. There isn't any anger or hatred because we're not blaming each other. And by owning our own crap, our nine-year-old daughter is completely fine about us getting divorced. Yes, she's sad -- like we are -- but she's ok.


Some advice if you are considering divorce:

• If you're unhappy, go to your spouse and tell them what's wrong. Be completely honest.

• Communicate to your spouse and figure out if the two of you want to make an effort to save the marriage or not. No pretending to be innocent and harboring bad feeling.

• Look at your role in why the marriage is breaking up and own your crap. Don't just blame the other person.

• Communicate the truth about the marriage. Walk away knowing it was both of you who contributed to the downfall of your marriage. It's a powerful feeling.

Finally, do not waste your hard-earned money on legal fees when going through the process of divorce. Keep the money in the family. There is no need to litigate or “fight it out.” Most matters can be amicably resolved and the paperwork can and should be handled by professionals who are dedicated to saving you money.

Absolutely not. Divorcefilers prepares and files all of the court documents for you. We even obtain your final, certified copy of the Final Judgment of Divorce or Annulment for you. You do not have to deal with the pressures and frustrations of going to court. Do you only file Uncontested Divorces? While most of our clients are seeking uncontested divorces, we also file uncontested annulment matters and separation agreements. Remember, we do not offer legal advice or counsel, however, if there are no contested issues, you do not need to pay the high fees for legal services.

 Must my spouse sign divorce documentation? 

While the fastest and most economical way to obtain an uncontested divorce is by obtaining your spouse's signature, this is not always possible and it is not legally required. If your spouse refuses to sign a consent to an uncontested divorce, your spouse will have to be served by a process server with a Summons with Notice or a Summons and Complaint. If your spouse fails to respond within an allotted time, you will win the divorce case by default. If you cannot locate your spouse, you will need to pursue a divorce by publication which can become extremely costly. We always suggest that you do everything possible to locate your spouse. 

Does it matter where my marriage took place? 

No. As long as you meet the residency requirements, you may file your divorce in New York. 

Does Divorcefilers only file divorces, annulments, etc. in the State of New York?

Does Divorcefilers guarantee its services?

Does Divorcefilers handle divorce matters when children are involved?

A Less Complex Divorce Alternative

Although Naturally Grueling and Stressful, A Divorce Does Not Have to be Expensive, Litigious or Unnecessarily Time-Consuming

  

Most of us are well aware that the process of divorce can be a grueling and stressful experience, emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. For most individuals, it will be, by far, the most difficult crisis they will ever face. For many, there can be residual pain for years after the legal paperwork is completed and they receive their final judgment of divorce.

It seems clear that anyone involved in this most complex crisis should definitely seek out skilled and qualified professionals, both in the legal and emotional areas of expertise. The beginning stages of separation and divorce maybe difficult if not impossible to comprehend, as one never really believes that they will be in this position where outside professionals are now front and center in what used to be their private domain, namely the intimate relationship they once shared with their spouse.

Usually fear, anger and rage dominate as the primary emotions for most people at the beginning stages of separation. This is because the crisis of defusing two people who declared their love for each other is a complex one few professionals are fully comfortable navigating.

How then does one begin the process of pursuing a divorce in the most efficient, cost-effective manner?

Most divorce attorneys usually bill by the hour. The more help you need, the more it costs you. That is not a system that helps you when you need help the most. Sometimes the cost is just too much. How is the average person supposed to afford this process?

The answer may in fact be that you do not require formal legal representation at unaffordable hourly rates. If you and your spouse agree that you both amicably desire to obtain a “friendly” divorce and there is little if any property to be distributed, than why not consider utilizing a firm with 30 years of experience to put together the tedious paperwork and do all of the laborious “legwork” and obtain a final judgment of divorce for you in approximately two and one half months?

The staff at Divorcefilers.com truly cares and takes the time to accomplish the tedious task of processing a divorce in a compassionate yet economical manner. A complimentary consultation is always available to those seeking a peaceful resolution to this very serious issue.

Automatic Orders: What are they?

Automatic Orders

An “Automatic Orders” bill was signed by Governor Patterson and effective on September 1, 2009 in New York. 

The Automatic Orders bill amends the Domestic Relations Law and requires that specific automatic orders be served upon the Defendant along with the Summons.  The automatic orders are binding upon the Plaintiff when the action for divorce is commenced, i.e., when the Summons is filed in the County Clerk’s office, and binding upon the Defendant when he is served with the orders.  The orders remain in effect during the matrimonial action unless terminated or modified by court order or stipulation of the parties.  There are five automatic orders as follows:

          

 1.         Neither party can sell, transfer, encumber, conceal, assign, remove or dispose of any property (including real estate, personal property, cash accounts, stocks, mutual funds, bank accounts, cars and boats) individually or jointly held by the parties, except in the usual course of business, for customary and usual household expenses or for reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with the matrimonial action.

 2.         Neither party can transfer, encumber, assign, remove withdraw or in any way dispose of any tax deferred funds, stocks or any other assets held in any individual retirement accounts, 401(k) accounts, profit sharing plans, Keogh accounts, or any other pension or retirement account, and the parties can further refrain from applying for or requesting the payment of retirement benefits or annuity payments of any kind, without the consent of the other party or order of the court.

 3.         Neither party can incur unreasonable debts, such as by borrowing against any credit line secured by the family residence, further encumbering any assets, or unreasonably using credit cards or cash advances against credit cards, except in the usual course of business or for customary or usual household expenses, or for reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with the matrimonial action.

 4.         Neither party can cause the other or the children of the marriage to be removed from any existing medical, hospital and dental insurance coverage and each party must maintain the insurance coverage in full force and effect. 

          

 5.         Neither party can change the beneficiaries of any existing life insurance policies and each party must maintain the existing life insurance, automobile insurance, homeowners and renters insurance policies in full force and effect.

Marriage On The Rocks?

Is your Marriage Headed for Divorce?

The fact that 50 percent of American marriages end in divorce has inspired a slew of research into the secrets of long-lasting marriages.

The latest research reveals the types of marriages that are at the highest risk for divorce — and what people can do to lower their risk.

The new research focuses in particular on communication styles and positive-to-negative interactions, Maslin explained.
Techniques That Don't Work

Some of this new research debunks conventional wisdom on marriage counseling. For example, it suggests that a popular counseling technique called "active listening" doesn't work. "Active Listening" or "parroting" is a widely used technique in couples therapy in which one spouse complains about the other and the other spouse repeats the complaint in his or her own words and says, "I hear what you're saying."

Also, traditional counseling encourages couples to give up their idealized view of relationships and romance, but this new research shows that people with the highest expectations for marriage have the best marriages.

The study identified five types of marriages and their risk for divorce as:

Pursuer Distancer
Highest Risk
Typically the wife raises problems; the husband dismisses them and/or refuses to talk about them.

Disengaged
High Risk
These are emotionally distant individuals who don't need intimacy, and lack mutual interests.

Operatic
High Risk
This is characterized by a tumultuous and volatile relationship, marked by cycles of fighting and making up.

Cohesive Individuated
Low Risk
The hallmarks of this type of marriage are shared responsibilities, autonomy, and a view of marriage as a refuge.

Traditional
Lowest Risk
These couples share a traditional interpretation of gender roles.


One of the divorce prediction researchers, Dr. John Gottman of the University of Washington, calculated that strong marriages have at least a 5-to-1 ratio of positive to negative interactions. When the ratio starts to drop, the risk of divorce rises.

The study videotaped thousands of couples and coded positive and negative facial expressions, body language and comments. Something as simple as an eye-rolling after a spouse comments can be a strong indication of future divorce, according to the study.

Some of this research focused on the timing of divorce. While half of all divorces occur in the first seven years of marriage, a study published this spring in Family Process claimed that another risky time for divorce is in midlife.

The study followed 79 couples married an average of five years. Four years after the research commenced, 9 percent had divorced. After the 14-year study, 22 couples divorced — 28 percent in total.

The study points out that marrying younger than 25 dramatically raises divorce risk. Also, age difference is a risk factor when the woman is much older than the man but the reverse isn't a problem.

The child factor is also a factor in marriage happiness. Studies show that after the birth of a child, most couples become dissatisfied with the marriage. But the same study shows that the birth makes the marriage less likely to end in divorce.
