Divorce

Divorce proceedings usually involve intense emotions and significant expense. William J. Berman is a dedicated matrimonial attorney who will work with you throughout the divorce process to minimize the emotional strain and cost normally associated with these proceedings. Bill handles complex contested and uncontested divorces.

During the divorce proceedings, Bill assess all of the assets and debt and strives to attain the largest possible distribution of marital assets for his clients.  He will work closely with you to guarantee proper financial support for you and your child from the start of your case through conclusion. If children are involved, he will work with you to help you obtain custody of your children, child support payments and develop a parenting plan which is in your children's best interest.

If you and your spouse choose to keep your divorce proceedings private and away from the courts, Bill will work with you through voluntary mediation or arbitration known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). During this process, both you and your spouse will meet with a neutral mediator/arbitrator to help resolve issues by bringing both parties to an agreement. With ADR, there is complete disclosure and no litigation.  Many individuals prefer this method as it tends to be faster, less costly and produces a more amicable outcome.
