Services
Alimony
Report
The purpose of a "maintenance" (or spousal support) award is to help the receiving spouse become financially independent after a divorce. Maintenance ends on the death of either party, or the remarriage of the receiving party, or a date specified in an agreement between the parties, or a date determined by a judge.
Childsupport
Report
Child support includes expenses like the child's health insurance and medical costs, educational expenses, and even child care while the custodial parent is at work or school. Usually, the parent who spends less time with the child makes payments to the other parent. The amount of child support is based on the income of both parents, however, any order for child support takes into account what each parent can provide.
Divorce
Report
Divorce is a legal action ending a marriage. Before you file for a divorce in New York State, you must (1) meet the "residency" requirement, and (2) have "grounds" for the divorce, a legally acceptable reason. A "consensual" divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all the terms of divorce. Sometimes during the process you find that you cannot agree on all terms after all, and the divorce becomes contested.
Evictions
Report
Your landlord can evict you for two reasons. The first type occurs when your landlord wants to evict you for certain conduct. The landlord will first have to let you know, in writing, that the eviction is coming. This type of case is called a "holdover" proceeding. In certain situations, the landlord will have to give you a chance to fix the problem before continuing with the eviction case.
Healthcareproxies
Report
Under New York Health Care Proxy Law (Section 2980 et seq.), any competent person age 18 or older (or if you are under 18, and married or have a child), may make a Health Care Proxy (also known as a Healthcare Power of Attorney). The law allows you to appoint someone to make healthcare decisions for you if you lose the ability, even temporarily, to make decisions yourself.
