What is Equitable Distribution in New York?
Some states seek to divide marital properly evenly between both spouses. In New York, the court is looking to establish property division that is fair. As you might imagine, this leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Marriages are complex relationships and it's up to each spouse to assert their claim to the property before the court.
Key Factors Judges Consider in Property Division
- The length of the marriage
- Each spouse's health and age
- Awarded child custody
- Awarded alimony
- The future financials of each spouse (including taxes)
- Any pensions, insurance policies or inheritances lost due the divorce
- Any prior wasteful/reckless actions that reduced the marital property
These are just some of the many considerations that the division of property in New York can entail. Every marriage is different and will pose different questions to the court. My clients can rest assured that their claim to their significant marital assets will be compellingly put forth and that I am ready to address all of their property division concerns.

"I would most certainly recommend him!"I called this morning with a question and Keith himself was able to answer it. It’s unfortunate that I live in jersey and can’t use his services but considering how efficient he was and the fact he gave me his time of day with no problem… I would most certainly recommend him! Thank you for your time sir!- Krystle R.

"I am on the road to recovery and Mr Casella got me a very nice settlement. Along the way he answered all of my questions. He even checked in on me to see how I was doing. He is a great attorney and a very nice person."I retained this firm after I was in a car accident. I suffered a shoulder injury and I was very nervous. Mr. Casella was able to have all my medical bills paid for by the insurance company and got most of my salary reimbursed. After a few months, I am on the road to recovery and Mr Casella got me a very nice settlement. Along the way he answered all of my questions. He even checked in on me to see how I was doing. He is a great attorney and a very nice person.- Former Client

"I am pleased to say that the Casella's really did well by me. They fought for me and got me a fair result."I retained Casella and Casella for a divorce matter where i was the defendant. Divorce is never a good thing and I was expecting to be run through the mill, as they say. I mean both from my x-wife and from the attorneys. I am pleased to say that the Casella's really did well by me. They fought for me and got me a fair result.- Mike

"I really felt like I was treated with dignity and respect."I hired Casella & Casella to help me with a car accident case. The attorneys were very responsive to me and kept me informed of the status of my case. I've hired other attorneys in the past and i have always felt like I was doing the attorney a favor. Here it was the other way around. I really felt like I was treated with dignity and respect.- Edward
