The Law Offices of Heidi T. Cochrane provides representation in appropriate New York divorce matters connected with Greene County. The firm’s approach is practical and strategic: identify the issues that need attention, evaluate the available path, pursue an agreement where appropriate, and prepare for formal litigation when necessary.
A consultation request allows the firm to conduct a conflict and suitability review. It does not create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee that the firm can accept a matter.
Resolving or litigating divorce issues
Some spouses reach a complete, informed agreement before a case begins. Others need financial information, negotiation, temporary relief, motion practice, discovery, court conferences, or another formal step before a resolution is possible. A divorce is contested when one or more material issues remain disputed; it is uncontested when the issues necessary for the judgment have been resolved through an appropriate agreement, court order, or process.

Information before terms are finalized
In a divorce involving property, debt, support, or maintenance, complete and reliable information can matter before terms are proposed or accepted. A house, retirement account, business interest, tax question, or debt obligation may require careful analysis. Where there are children, the family also may need practical parenting and support arrangements that account for the children’s needs and daily schedules.
