We understand that being embroiled in a child custody dispute or divorce is stressful and emotionally difficult. We focus on getting clients through this challenging time as quickly and smoothly as possible, helping them determine and achieve their primary goals. At our law firm, attorneys address all aspects of divorce. The Kitson Law Firm, LLP, is known for employing creative strategies while building strong cases that seek the best outcome for clients.

One reason for our success is our use of specialists at all stages of the legal process. When needed, we employ financial evaluators, psychologists, securities experts, real estate brokers and other professionals who can document and substantiate our clients' positions. Although we use these experts on many cases, having this level of specialized assistance is especially important when assisting high-net worth clients with matrimonial issues.

Our attorneys are always prepared to go to court to fight for our clients' goals and rights. Our lead family law attorney, Patricia G. Kitson, is a litigator and an accomplished practitioner of collaborative law and a member of both the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and the Westchester/Rockland Collaborative Law Group.

Divorce is emotionally challenging, and is made more stressful by the financial uncertainty that often accompanies it.
Men and women contemplating divorce require an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to guide them through this difficult time.
They need accurate and timely information to make sound decisions that could affect them for years to come.
Our lawyers are particularly interested in and adept at encouraging clients to reduce their level of animosity and focus on their goals.
In some instances, a divorce agreement can be reached quickly with little animosity, especially when the matter involves childless couples with limited property.
Matters involving child support, custody and visitation are often contentious.
It is important that attorneys be sensitive to the emotions of their clients and the potentially negative consequences of custody and support disputes on the children.
In New York, child support is determined in accordance with specific statutes and guidelines.
The guidelines provide for a percentage calculated up to a certain income level and then for a more subjective approach concerning income above the preset threshold.
Money is always a large concern in divorce, as it is in life.
Often, one party's hope is to have enough to care for his or her children, while the other party's concern is to pay an unburdensome amount of child support.
Reconciling these conflicting goals is frequently a daunting challenge requiring the support and guidance of a legal advisor who can untangle the issues and develop workable solutions.
A sound understanding of both parties' financial circumstances is necessary.
At The Kitson Law Firm, LLP, our attorneys work with sophisticated financial analysts when necessary to evaluate the wealth and holdings of our client and his or her spouse.
Spousal maintenance, sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal support, is generally determined on a more suggestive basis than child support.
An alimony award is made based on various factors, some of which are listed below.
Whether one of the parties needs additional education or training to become self-supporting.
These and other issues are considered by the courts when determining final spousal support awards, which are highly individualized.
For that reason, having an experienced matrimonial lawyer to help navigate the system is critical to resolving maintenance disputes.
