Divorce

When a person goes through a divorce it can feel like their whole life is put on a negotiating table. In a certain sense, that’s true. The property has to be divided in accord with the State of New York’s laws on equitable distribution. Clients need to know that their lawyer will do their best to secure an uncontested divorce–one that doesn’t require the costs of going to court. But clients also need to know their attorney is prepared to litigate if that’s what it takes to get a fair settlement.

Child Custody & Visitation

What happens to children can be one of the most difficult subjects to deal with in a divorce. Parents rely on their NYC family lawyer to know all the issues that judges can take into account in a custody dispute. Parents need an attorney who is experienced enough to make certain their final agreement is detailed enough to alleviate future problems. And if parents have concerns about the fitness of their soon-to-be ex-spouse, they rely on their lawyer to help them prove that case in a family court.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a scourge afflicting our society. If you’re a victim, the first step is to get somewhere safe. Call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. Then reach out to Maryam Jahedi Law Firm P.C. We work with clients across New York City on restraining orders that help give them peace of mind and help their families stay safe.

Muslim Divorce

Islamic Marriage Agreements present a unique challenge in family law that most attorneys are not familiar with, including dowry arrangements. Attorney Maryam Jahedi, our founding partner, is fluent in Farsi and familiar with the issues that arise in Muslim divorce. An Islamic Marriage Agreement can be enforceable in a New York court of law, depending on the circumstances. It’s imperative that the lawyer understand how to handle these special types of cases.
