What Sets Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos Family Law Attorneys Apart? 

Our team handles all types of divorce, from uncontested cases to highly contested ones involving high net worth/ high asset property division, child custody, or same-sex relationships. While we handle all family law matters, our team is experienced in resolving even the most complex, such as international and interstate custody disputes. These cases are typically more challenging due to jurisdictional issues, cross-border logistical issues, and, in international cases, intercountry treaties such as the Hague Convention. 

We can also effectively minimize conflict through alternative dispute resolutions, such as mediation. These methods allow you to resolve matters without requiring lengthy, costly, and highly stressful litigation. Mediation gives you more control over the outcome than having a judge dictate the terms. 

Selecting the right law firm to represent you can significantly impact results and your future beyond your legal issues. Our team understands the intricacies of family law and provides the emotional support and strategic guidance needed throughout the legal process. We know that an optimum outcome is only part of the legal equation. Our goal is to help you transition to a better future where you can flourish and thrive. 

We have two convenient locations: Bayside, Queens, and 7 World Trade Center in Manhattan. We serve clients in all five boroughs of New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties. We invite you to learn more about our firm and team and how we can help you with your family law matter. 

Our commitment to customer service does not end at the close of a legal matter. As part of our long-term relationship with clients, we frequently host informational seminars and provide resources to assist in future life changes that may require legal attention. This proactive approach ensures that you are well-prepared for any eventuality, creating a smooth transition for any future adjustments that may need professional guidance.

Understanding Property Division with a Family Law Lawyer Queens

Property division during divorce can be one of the most contentious aspects. In New York, equitable distribution is not necessarily equal but fair. The court considers factors such as the length of the marriage, the income and property brought into the marriage by each party, contributions made by each party to the marriage, and the future financial circumstances of each party. Knowing how these laws will be applied to your specific situation can help tremendously when preparing for divorce negotiations or litigation.

Our attorneys at Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos are well-versed in these considerations. We adeptly guide our clients through the process, ensuring that all assets are fairly reported and evaluated, and advocating for your best interests, whether through negotiation or in court. We strive to protect what you value most and to secure a stable economic future for you and your family.
