Family Law

Monticello, New York Divorce Lawyers

People contemplating the prospect of divorce or the break-up of a family can suffer intense emotional and financial distress, and this distress can continue long after a divorce decree or settlement becomes final.

At Ricciani & Jose, we have two goals when advising clients in divorce and family matters: to protect our clients’ legal rights and interests, and to help them feel reassured and focused on a positive outcome for themselves and their families. By taking this approach, they can be confident that they will get what they're entitled to under the law.

Every family law problem is unique. At our firm, we work closely with our clients to understand the realities of their particular situations, their concerns, and their ultimate goals. We then analyze each situation and tailor a legal strategy to achieve the best results for the client. Some divorce and family law matters can be resolved relatively amicably, while others become highly contentious. Ricciani & Jose’s experience extends across the entire range of family law disputes.

Ricciani & Jose advises and represents clients in family law matters including:

• Divorce
• Child custody and visitation
• Child support
• Maintenance / Spousal support (alimony)
• Modifications of child support and maintenance / spousal support
• Identification & protecting separate property
• Equitable distribution of marital property
• Enforcement of custody, visitation, and support orders
• Domestic violence
• Prenuptial agreements and post-nuptial agreements
• Adoptions – including private placement and grandparent adoptions

Divorces Involving Complex Property Division

Danielle Jose and Jackie Ricciani have extensive experience dealing with contentious and complex property division matters. They use their knowledge and experience to identify and protect separate property (as opposed to marital property), and evaluate other factors which can have an impact on the distribution of marital assets. Working with accountants and valuation specialists, they can also evaluate the true value of businesses, real property, and intangible assets.
