Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Summons for Separation Agreement

No. This just means that you have to go to court. You can argue your position with the judge when you go to court. If you are not completely destitute, have some assets and have paid any taxes in your life, I would suggest that you retain a competent matrimonial lawyer. Sure, it will cost you money. But in the end you will get more money! Now is not the time to be pro se you have your future to think about.

If you are in Westchester, Rockland or Orange County, please contact me and we can discuss this matter further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Re: Summons for Separation Agreement

If you are served with a summons, you have an option. You may either negotiate a settlement with your husband or you may proceed with litigation and ultimately have the court decide on the law.
