The Law Offices of Heidi T. Cochrane provides representation in appropriate New York divorce matters connected with Ulster County. The firm can assist with divorce issues involving agreements, disputed parenting or financial questions, negotiation, court process, and preparation for litigation or trial when appropriate.
Every matter requires an individual review. An initial inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not mean that the firm has agreed to take the matter.
Choosing the appropriate divorce path
An uncontested divorce may be suitable when spouses have resolved every issue that must be addressed and can proceed through an appropriate agreement and court process. A contested matter may require strategic planning, information gathering, negotiation, discovery, motion practice, conferences, or a hearing or trial. The existence of disagreement does not rule out settlement, but unresolved issues should not be treated as settled.
