Religious Divorces in New York
The attorneys at Jeffrey S. Schecter & Associates, P.C. know that every
divorce presents with its own unique set of facts. We are cognizant of
the fact that issues of religion and religious observance can be significant
factors in a particular divorce proceeding and can have impacts on a wide
range of issues. We are also cognizant that securing a religious divorce
for a party in a divorce proceeding can be just as important, if not more
so, than securing a civil divorce through the courts. Our attorneys have
a wealth of experience dealing with religious divorces, including appearances
and hearings before religious tribunals, such as a Beit Din, where parties
may choose to submit their disputed issues rather than through civil courts.
The law imposes significant consequences on a party who attempts to interfere
with another party's right to obtain a religious divorce. The attorneys
at Jeffrey S. Schecter & Associates, P.C. are versed in the legal
remedies available to assist our clients in obtaining a religious divorce,
and recognize the importance of handling such issues in an aggressive
and sensitive manner so that your rights are protected.
