I am Barton R. Resnicoff, and I have the experience it takes to successfully handle a variety of matrimonial and family law cases.
When I first started representing family law clients, I practiced with two very different partners, from whom I learned different things.
From one partner, I learned how to practice tough and give no quarter.
From the other, I learned how to use the law to assist my client - how to work with the parties and the other attorney to resolve the case fairly.

There are many tools at our disposal when dealing with custody, parenting time and a parent being denied access to his or her child.
What are the Court's powers and what should be done when there is a total denial of all contact?
A prospective client[1], the father, came in for a consultation recently.
His former wife, contrary to the terms of their divorce, had prevented him from having any contact with his six(6)year old daughter, alleging that he was abusing her; she also alleged that during the time she was with her father, she spent time with a neighborhood girl, the same age, who the mother falsely claimed her mother was the father's girlfriend.

I am often asked about the parties becoming legally separated instead of getting a divorce.
In New York, you can sue for separation as an alternative, or in addition to, a divorce.
Whether or not that makes sense on legal, practical or emotion level is another issue.
To obtain a judgment of separation entails the same work as a divorce, but the parties remain legally married and no distribution of assets can occur.
There are only fault grounds for a separation.
If all that is granted is a judgment of separation, while that decree, after living separate and apart based upon it, can be converted into the divorce decree with a new law suit, the same financial disclosure is necessary and the issues of equitable distribution will have to be dealt with, usually requiring a duplication of effort, attorney time and costs.
