Our Nassau County Family Law Services

Uncontested Divorce

When both spouses agree on every issue, we prepare the settlement agreement and court papers and handle the Nassau County filing for a fixed fee: $1,500 with no children, $2,000 with children, or $2,500 with real estate, plus court filing fees.

Prenuptial Agreements

Set clear financial terms before marriage. We draft and negotiate prenuptial agreements and supervise signing and acknowledgment, which New York requires for the agreement to be enforceable (DRL ยง 236(B)(3)). Fixed fees start at $2,500.

Postnuptial Agreements

It's not too late to create financial clarity in your marriage. Postnuptial agreements help couples address changed circumstances and protect accumulated assets in compliance with New York law.

Child Support & Custody

We help parents understand New York's child support guidelines and develop custody arrangements that prioritize children's wellbeing while protecting parental rights in Nassau County court proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Nassau County?

Neuhaus & Yacoob charges a fixed fee for an uncontested divorce: $1,500 with no children, $2,000 with children, or $2,500 with real estate. Court filing fees are not included, and payment plans are available. Prenuptial agreements start at $2,500 and postnuptial agreements at $3,000. Contested cases are not billed at a fixed fee; they are handled under a written retainer agreement, which New York requires in domestic relations matters.

Can a New York attorney represent me in Nassau County?

Yes. Joel Yacoob is admitted to practice in New York, which permits him to represent clients in the Nassau County Supreme Court and Family Court; he is also admitted in New Jersey. Nassau divorces are heard in the Supreme Court's Matrimonial Center, 101 County Seat Drive, Third Floor, Mineola, and the Nassau County Family Court sits on the first and second floors of the same building.

How long does an uncontested divorce take in Nassau County?

There is no fixed timeline. Timing depends on how quickly the settlement agreement and court papers are completed and on the Nassau County Supreme Court's workload. After the papers are submitted, the clerk and a judge review them before the judge signs the Judgment of Divorce. Many uncontested cases are completed within several months of the papers being submitted, but no date can be promised.

Do I need to come to your Brooklyn office for consultations?

No. Consultations are available by phone or video, and you can start through our online intake form, so a first meeting does not require a trip to Brooklyn. Our office at 195 Montague Street is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM.

What's the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?

In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree on every issue, including property, support, custody and parenting time, and put the terms in a written settlement agreement. In a contested divorce, at least one issue is disputed and the court decides it after disclosure, conferences and, if needed, a trial. Uncontested cases usually involve fewer court steps and lower legal fees, but the terms still need careful drafting.
