Divorce

     Maya Murphy represents clients throughout all of New York State. In Connecticut, we serve clients throughout Fairfield and New Haven Counties, including clients in Westport, Weston, Norwalk, Darien, Stamford, Wilton, Greenwich, and New Canaan.

With the brightest lawyers and the most advanced technology, Maya Murphy is able to conquer the most complex cases with ease and efficiency. Our firm is involved in all phases of divorce, custody, visitation, alimony and support proceedings. Many of the legal issues that arise on a regular basis in cases of divorce law and family law, include issues of child custody, relocation, and child support.

Divorce is emotionally and financially draining. At Maya Murphy we hold our clients hands throughout the legal process of divorce to ensure that all rights are protected. In Fairfield County, many of our clients have accumulated wealth over the years and the division of those assets can be a very complex undertaking. We advise our clients with respect to all aspects of the division of property, the allocation of debt, the payment of alimony and/or child support, and the tax and estate planning implications of various scenarios to ensure our client is well advised. Our team of family law lawyers assist clients in determining appropriate asset division, child custody and visitation arrangements, and alimony and support payments, including pension and stock option distributions. We have the latest software and computer assisted legal research at our fingertips to enable us to expeditiously research and find the right answers to address each of our clients concerns.

Separation, divorce and the associated legal proceedings are very difficult and emotionally painful. Often our clients have minor children. Children need to be taken into consideration in many ways in handling a divorce. As lawyers, we need to ensure that children are protected in terms of their health, education and welfare. We are experienced in dealing with the most complex child custody, visitation, and support situations and proceedings. We work very closely with our clients to ensure that the best interests of their children are protected when establishing a parenting plan involving custody and visitation. We often consult with attorneys in our trusts and estates department to determine the best ways to adequately protect the childrenís needs well into the future.

Agreements regarding child support, visitation and custody are very complex. Child support, visitation and custody agreements require experienced and talented lawyers to negotiate, and skill to draft. Our clients get the benefit of very smart, well trained and very experienced matrimonial and family law lawyers. In addition, with the assistance and support of our entire firm, our clients get the benefits of the experience and resources of a full service law firm, not just very smart and experienced matrimonial lawyers.

Our team of family and matrimonial lawyers are available to meet with clients at their convenience. Often we make ourselves available to meet clients in the evenings and on weekends to accommodate their schedules. The initial consultation with a member of our matrimonial and family law team is always free. In most instances one of our matrimonial and family law attorneys is available to meet with new clients the same day they call.
