Our law office continues to strive to make the legal system accessible to you, regardless of your current financial situation. With the economy putting the hard press on all of us, I try to be as flexible as possible. Not everyone needs to get divorced has the same financial flexibility as Tiger Woods or John Edwards whose names have recently been scattered across divorce news.
The Law Office of David Centeno, PLLC is able to serve all New York State (which is extremely large, when it comes to states) because we focus solely on New York uncontested divorces.
New York uncontested divorces (versus a contested or disputed divorce):
* does not require any court appearances by you or us
* is much more affordable than a contested divorce (you will save thousands of dollars)
* is much faster than a contested divorce (we will save you time)
* is much less painful than a contested divorce (where spouses often want to air the couple’s dirty laundry, sling nasty allegations at one another, and fight tooth and nail over every last dime or minute with their children)
Today’s attorney’s fees have become astronomical. I recently read an article by a New York divorce lawyer who charges $700 per hour. Given that the average contested divorce can take hundreds of hours, if you are in the market for a divorce and can do math your stomach probably just dropped.
$700 an hour is on the high side. The average New York contested divorce attorney fee is approximately $250 an hour. Again, hundreds of hours… I wouldn’t want to be paying those fees.
Today’s technology has enabled amazing advancements for modern society. It allows us to communicate easier, find people with similar interests faster and trade media at lightening speeds. The internet has also spurred on what our ancestors termed adultery in new ways…
According to news sources, Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have called off their divorce after Elin visited him at what has been called “sex rehab.” Many eyebrows have been raised… Our law firm actually has researched sex addiction after many people had come to us with this problem. After much research, I can confirm that […]
The press just released the story that John and Elizabeth Edwards have legally separated, after their marriage had been under the media microscope during the last two Presidential campaigns.
Mr. Edwards admitted last week, after a long cover up, that he fathered a child in 2007 with another woman, Rielle Hunter, outside his marriage. The child will be turning 2 years old next month. He had previously fervently denied the accusation, especially when accusations arose during his Presidential campaigns.
My law office, the Law Office of David Centeno PLLC, is not your average law firm. That is, we are not your average antiquated brick and mortar firm (i.e., we don’t keep a storefront). We have discovered a way to use today’s technology to make the legal system more accessible to you. This is how […]
When it comes to how fast we can get you your divorce, I always tell my clients that it would be nice to have a crystal ball. Although having a crystal ball would certainly be helpful (and cool!), I just can’t seem to find a real one on Amazon. But what I do have an Expedited […]
Often I get calls from husbands or wives, talking in hushed tones, asking for advice regarding how they can convince their spouse to get an uncontested divorce versus a contested one. I don’t blame them. In today’s economy, I too would want to at least try my best to get an uncontested divorce that is more affordable, far faster and less painful that its contested alternative.
New York is not only one of the most expensive places to live, its also one of the most expensive places on earth to get divorced. New York divorce is exceedingly expensive for various reasons:
* New York still requires fault grounds for divorce (as the New York Times recently editorialized and I commented on),
* New York’s custody laws seem to encourage litigation, and
* professional licenses and educational degrees are classified as marital assets,
all which promotes litigation. New York state doesn’t make it easy to get divorced.
Yet, don’t fear. Our law office offers an affordable alternative to the average litigious New York divorce. Our law office has coined the phrase “Affordable Divorce” to describe the inexpensive, out of court, often amicable divorce settlements that our law office reaches for our clients.
