New York's Leading Family Law Firm

What we do

We deeply grasp the intricate nature of family law matters, which often manifest as highly complex, contentious, and emotionally charged circumstances.
Our goal is to reduce confusion and stress while guiding clients through this process and aiding in critical decisions that affect their children, finances, and business.

Divorce

At Chemtob Moss Forman & Beyda, our comprehensive divorce services extend from initial consultation to final resolution. We understand that divorce can be a highly emotional and complex process, and we are dedicated to guiding our clients with empathy and expertise. Our seasoned team of attorneys leverages their extensive knowledge of family law to strategize, negotiate, and advocate on behalf of our clients, ensuring their best interests are protected. We assist in all aspects of divorce, from property division and spousal support to child custody and visitation arrangements. Our goal is to facilitate a smooth and fair transition during this challenging time, ultimately helping our clients move forward with confidence and security.

Prenuptial/Post Nuptial Agreements

We recognize the importance of prenuptial/postnuptial agreements in safeguarding our clients' financial and personal interests. Whether you're planning to marry or already married, our legal experts work closely with you to create customized agreements that address your specific concerns and goals. These legally binding contracts can outline the division of assets, spousal support, and other key issues, providing clarity and peace of mind in your relationship. We take pride in our meticulous approach to drafting and negotiating these agreements, ensuring they stand up to legal scrutiny and protect your assets and rights effectively.

Child Custody and Relocation

Child custody disputes can be emotionally charged and legally intricate. Our dedicated team specializes and excels in this area, aiming to secure the best interests of your children while addressing your concerns. We provide compassionate guidance through negotiations, mediation, or courtroom litigation if necessary. In cases involving relocation, we assist in navigating the complex legal requirements, always striving for outcomes that promote stability and well-being for both parents and children.

Division of Financial Assets

Our work in the division of financial assets is unparalleled. We recognize that the equitable distribution of assets is a pivotal aspect of divorce. Our meticulous approach involves identifying, valuing, and negotiating the fair allocation of marital property, investments, businesses, and other assets. We work tirelessly to ensure our clients receive their rightful share while maintaining a focus on efficiency and financial security.

Litigation

In situations where disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, our skilled litigators step in to provide strong representation in court. We prepare compelling legal arguments, navigate the complexities of the legal system, and vigorously advocate for our clients' rights, all while keeping their best interests at the forefront. Our commitment is to secure favorable outcomes through strategic and dedicated litigation.

Appeals and Post Judgments

When legal issues persist or require review, our experienced team handles appeals and post-judgment proceedings. We carefully analyze cases, research applicable laws, and craft persuasive arguments to protect our clients' interests. Our goal is to rectify any legal issues that may have arisen during the initial proceedings and secure a favorable resolution.

Mediation and Arbitration

For clients seeking alternative dispute resolution methods, our firm offers mediation and arbitration services. We foster a cooperative atmosphere, facilitating productive conversations and negotiations to reach mutually agreeable solutions efficiently and with minimal conflict.

LGBTQIA+ Divorce, Separation & Cohabitation Agreements

We are proud to offer specialized support to the LGBTQIA+ community, recognizing the unique legal considerations that may arise in divorce, separation, and cohabitation agreements.
