Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about divorce, prenuptial agreements, and family law in New York.

How much does an uncontested divorce cost in New York?

At Neuhaus & Yacoob LLC, uncontested divorce in New York costs between $1,500 and $2,500 as a fixed fee. This includes document preparation, filing, and court representation. Contested divorces typically cost $15,000 to $50,000 or more. Read our full uncontested divorce guide.

How long does an uncontested divorce take in New York?

There is no fixed timeline. It depends on how quickly the settlement agreement and court papers are completed and on the court's workload; after the papers are submitted, the clerk and a judge review them before the judge signs the judgment. Many uncontested cases are completed within several months of the papers being submitted. Contested cases take longer.

How much does a prenuptial agreement cost in Brooklyn, NY?

Prenuptial agreements at Neuhaus & Yacoob LLC range from $2,500 to $6,000+ depending on the complexity of assets involved. Our Brooklyn office serves clients throughout New York and New Jersey with fixed-fee prenup services. Learn more about prenups in New York.

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce in New York?

While not legally required, having a lawyer for an uncontested divorce in New York is strongly recommended. An attorney helps make sure your settlement agreement properly addresses asset division, support obligations, and custody arrangements, which helps prevent costly issues later.

What is the difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement?

A prenuptial agreement is signed before marriage, while a postnuptial agreement is signed after the wedding. Both protect assets and define financial arrangements, but postnuptial agreements face slightly higher legal scrutiny in New York courts. Read about postnuptial agreements.

Can I file for divorce in New York if I was married in another state?

Yes. You can file in New York no matter where you married, as long as you meet the residency rules in Domestic Relations Law § 230. In most cases one spouse needs one year of continuous New York residence if you married here, lived here as a married couple, or the grounds for divorce arose here; otherwise one spouse needs two years of continuous New York residence.

Do you handle divorce cases in Monsey, Rockland County, and Orange County?

Yes. We regularly represent clients in Monsey and throughout Rockland County, and in Orange County, NY, including Kiryas Joel / Palm Tree, Monroe, and Goshen. This includes coordinating the civil divorce with the Get (Jewish religious divorce) and drafting agreements with Beis Din provisions. Consultations are available by phone or video, and intake can be completed online.
