Protecting Your Best Interests

Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial and postnuptial marital agreements outline expectations and responsibilities in the event of divorce. Such contracts provide protection for individual interests and clarify financial obligations between individuals considering marriage, or couples who are facing marital problems, but want to remain married.
Attorney Cristal guides you through the agreement-drafting process in your best interest.
Grandparents’ Rights
Your relationship with your grandchildren deserves preservation, even after divorce changes the family’s shape. Attorney Jane K. Cristal advocates for the rights of grandparents to secure visitation rights and maintain these critical family bonds.
Legal Separations
Creating a legal separation agreement between you and your spouse addresses the same issues as divorce, such as:
- Child custody
- Child support
- Spousal maintenance
- Property distribution
When creating a separation agreement in New York, couples must remain separated for at least one year. However, a legal separation does not end your marriage. Attorney Jane K. Cristal will counsel you on your options, clarify any concerns you have, and provide guidance and support as you move through this process.
Domestic Violence And Orders Of Protection
Protecting yourself and your children if threatened by domestic violence is critical. Attorney Cristal moves with discretion, speed and delivers assertive advocacy to safeguard you. She will help you obtain protection orders and other necessary legal remedies.
