Divorce

Poughkeepsie Divorce Lawyers Serving the Hudson Valley

Every couple faces unique challenges. When a marriage ends, you deserve unique representation as well — guidance from an attorney who doesn't just dictate a solution, but who asks the question: What is best for you?

At Ostertag O'Leary Barrett & Faulkner, in Poughkeepsie, our divorce attorneys tailor solutions to each client's unique needs. Our holistic approach takes all factors into consideration. Taking time to work with you, we talk about the entire scope of the situation. We start with the story of your relationship. We continue with your concerns and plans for the future. Together, we develop a divorce strategy that helps you reach your goals by addressing all the issues that may affect you:

• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Alimony
• Division of marital property and debt

Collaborative Divorce

We do what is necessary to aggressively protect our clients, but we also know that a collaborative approach is often best. Two of our attorneys handle collaborative divorce cases as part of an interdisciplinary collaborative divorce team.

In collaborative divorce, you and your spouse are each represented by a family law attorney. You and your attorneys each agree to resolve the issues in your divorce through discussion and agreement instead of going to court. In fact, if collaboration is unsuccessful, you and your spouse must discharge your attorneys and retain new ones in order to litigate your divorce.

At Ostertag O'Leary Barrett & Faulkner, we also use unofficial collaborative techniques to help couples divorce. We believe in reasonable actions and sensible solutions that protect our clients' interests. By taking a sensible approach, we are often able to help our clients divorce more cost-effectively and with less emotional impact.

We also have experience managing divorce at a latter stage of life, which may require special considerations. At Ostertag O'Leary Barrett & Faulkner, we take a holistic approach to help our clients think of things like health insurance coverage, estate planning or alimony payments that should not be overlooked.
