Divorce & Family Law Matters We Handle
Divorce rarely involves a single issue. Property, children, support, and safety concerns can each require separate legal attention, and our attorneys are prepared to handle the full scope of what your case may involve.
Our team helps Orange County clients with matters including:
Uncontested Divorce in New York
New York law requires legally recognized grounds to file for divorce. Since 2010, couples have had access to a no-fault option based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage for at least six months, which has made the uncontested process more accessible. When both spouses can reach full agreement on every term: custody, support, and property division, the case qualifies as uncontested.
Advantages of an uncontested divorce include:
- Lower overall cost compared to contested litigation
- Faster resolution with fewer court appearances
- A private process that keeps your family’s details out of public proceedings
- Greater control over the outcome for both spouses
- Customized terms that reflect your family’s actual circumstances
Mediation & Trial Readiness in Orange County
New York courts encourage alternative dispute resolution, and mediation can resolve custody, support, and property questions without a judge making the final call. Founding partner Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr. is a certified mediator, which means we bring credentialed mediation capability in-house rather than referring clients elsewhere. When couples can negotiate productively, mediation often produces faster, less costly results than courtroom litigation.
Not every case is suited to settlement. Our attorneys have substantial trial experience in family law and can identify when a proposed agreement works against a client’s interests. When negotiation isn’t the right path, we take the case to trial before the Orange County Supreme Court, prepared to advocate fully on your behalf.
Why Orange County Families Choose Our Firm
Our Goshen office means our attorneys appear regularly before the local courts that handle your case. We accept no cases outside divorce and family law, so every resource we have is directed toward these matters. And Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr.’s certification as a mediator gives clients an option many firms don’t offer from within the same team.

Additional Divorce Issues We Handle for Orange County Clients
The legal issues that arise during and after a divorce extend well beyond the core proceeding. We handle spousal support and maintenance disputes, separation agreements, and military divorce, in addition to the matters listed above. For Orange County families, cases involving children frequently move between the Orange County Supreme Court and Family Court in Goshen, and our attorneys are familiar with both.
Spousal support (also called maintenance) in New York is calculated using a statutory formula, but the amount and duration can be modified by agreement or court order depending on the circumstances. A carefully drafted separation agreement can address support, property, and parenting terms before a divorce is finalized, giving both parties certainty and reducing the likelihood of future disputes.
For couples willing to negotiate in good faith, collaborative divorce offers another path that avoids contested litigation. Whatever your situation looks like, we can assess which approach fits your circumstances and represent you through every stage of the process.
