Having received an award for Outstanding Academic Achievement by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, New York Chapter while in Law School, I did not end up practicing this area of law by accident and I think my clients recognize that.
I view my role as helping my clients understand what the legal system can and cannot do in resolving their disputes with their spouse or former spouse, ensuring that they obtain an equitable resolution of their dispute, and assisting them in dealing with the emotional turmoil that often accompanies a divorce or post divorce proceedings.

While in the past, awards of temporary maintenance were anchored to the actual reasonable needs of the spouse requesting maintenance, or to the parties pre-separation standard of living, the new legislation introduces a "formula" for determining the "presumptively correct" amount of temporary maintenance to be awarded by the Court.
Family Law refers to issues regarding divorce, distribution of marital property and marital debt, custody, visitation, relocation of children, child support, spousal support, and orders of protection, as well as issues relating to the modification of custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support.
Recently, New York State became the last state in the country to adopt some form of "No Fault" Divorce. The amendment to the Domestic Relations Law further provides that a judgment of divorce cannot be granted unless and until all economic issues relating to property distribution, the payment or waiver of spousal support (eg. alimony/maintenance), child support, custody, visitation, and attorney's fees have been resolved by the parties.

Michael Cohen is the MAN apart from (God)..... after all the run around from previous lawyers, money wasted, sleepless nights. I was referred by a friend to Michael Cohen. As soon as I scheduled a visit to him, he was welcoming, very calm, he listened to me carefully, he took my case and was blunt and trust me, people have told me that my case was complex but not for Michael, less that 2 months my case was done. He is trustworthy, till today I still say a prayer for him. God Bless you - Eddie

I have recommended Michael to friends and colleagues who needed an excellent divorce/child custody attorney. Michael is kind, responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and provides excellent legal advice. Additionally, he cares about his clients and the outcome of their cases. I have worked with other attorneys in the past and Michael stands at the top of the list. If you are in need of a divorce/child custody attorney, I highly recommend contacting Michael.

Going through divorce and child custody proceedings can be a very stressful and draining process. The technical part of court proceedings can be very overwhelming and somewhat intimidating.
