Additional Family Law Services

In New York, irreconcilable differences alone is not sufficient grounds on which to file for divorce. A separation agreement that has been on file for over a year will provide the necessary legal basis for obtaining a divorce. At J. Mark Krause and Associate, we will review, draft and file a separation agreement for you.

We also provide counsel regarding:

  • Domestic violence matters: We can help you obtain an Order of Protection or a restraining order, if you or your children have been subjected to physical abuse. We also help parties contest restraining orders when there is insufficient grounds.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: If you want to make certain that property interests are protected in a marriage, especially when you are bringing substantial assets into the union or have been married before, we will help you create and execute a valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.
  • Visitation: We help men and women establish and implement visitation arrangements that take the children's needs into consideration and still allow the parents to have meaningful time with their children.
  • Paternity actions: We will represent you in a paternity dispute, whether you are seeking to establish or contest paternity.
