New York Divorce Lawyer - Criminal Defense Lawyer - Real Est...
The Courts has the discretion to Order your spouse to pay for your attorney fees in a divorce, or an annulment. However this only occurs when there is an economic disparity between the spouses and it is necessary to enable the party to proceed with the divorce. This applies only to "Contested Divorces". New York addresses martial property under the doctrine of equitable distribution. Under this doctrine property is not "equally" distributed, instead it is equitably distributed.
