Separation And Divorce: Which Makes The Most Sense?
Divorce: Understanding Its Impact and Alternatives
Divorce is a very strong word that has a lot of meaning to a lot of people. So many people struggle with this word. It’s a scary word and absolutely no one wants to hear it. This is because many people know how heavy this topic is, and people know just how much having a divorce could impact their life in general. No one wants to see their marriage come to an end, but for some couples, it may be the right decision. If you’re thinking about separating, or divorcing, consider speaking to our NYC divorce lawyers today for a risk-free consultation.
Separation Instead Of Divorce?
Forbes.com has laid out the case that many couples are choosing to use separation instead of a formal divorce even when they know their marriages have ceased to function. This is important to know.
If someone gets a legal separation agreement, it may be reasonable to simply remain separated rather than seek a legal divorce. The difference between the two statuses at that point is not all that different. With a legal separation, a person technically remains married to their spouse, but they can still have the courts settle all of their different rights and privileges for them. They can have a legally-binding agreement with the other person regarding important issues such as child custody and property rights.
Separation May Prove Less Costly
Divorce is an expensive legal process. It brings to an end a marriage that had at one point existed. It is something used by those who want to have the freedom to perhaps once again find someone to love and marry. Around half of all marriages that exist today end up in divorce at some point. This means that many people are familiar with the divorce process.
If you are looking for a lawyer that listens, is aggressive where needed, and holds his word above all else, Todd is the best pick. I had hired multiple attorneys prior to hiring the Spodek Group for a white collar case. The first thing that stood out to me was the cost, as anyone going through the process and dealing with the system, money was tight at that time - especially after hiring and firing multiple lawyers. The cost was not as high as others which was definitely a plus. Todd's intake process was also unlike other attorneys. He took the time to actually listen. He cared. He was trying to put himself in my shoes while I was explaining the situation to him and he really took the time to understand the whole situation. Other lawyers will give you 15 mins and send you a retainer agreement. Not Todd, I think he spent almost two hours with me as I was explaining everything.Not only was he great during the onboarding process, he was supportive and very informative through the entire plea process and eventually sentencing. After hiring him, I asked if I should hire a prison consultant, he told me to save my money as he would do everything they would. He was right and held up to his word. Later on I would hear from others that went with the prison consultants that they were a waste of money - I am glad I listened to Todd!When it came time for sentencing, two days prior to sentencing, the prosecutor tried increasing my proposed prison time by almost double - apparently a normal move. Todd and his team worked with me non-stop through the weekend prior to sentencing to ensure that I was not given additional prison time. Again, he took the time to listen and came up with a strategy to explain the case with great detail.Unfortunately, I did plead guilty as that was my best option. Todd and his whole team wrote up nearly 300 pages of a summary of what happened and why I should not be given prison time. If I breakdown the amount I spent with Todd versus the amount of work that I saw being done, I am shocked I was not charged four times as much. The other benefit was, a lot of criminal defense lawyers were just a single attorney with a paralegal or two. Todd had a team of people that I dealt with (5-7 people that I interacted with), but he was ALWAYS accessible. It would never take him more than an hour to reply unless he was in court.I was sentenced to prison and I was emotionally distraught. Todd and his team did whatever they could even after sentencing to make sure I was alright. He personally stayed in touch with my family to ensure I was doing alright and offered support to them. Most lawyers would consider the job complete at sentencing, not Todd.After prison, Todd still spent time with me to make sure I was on the right track and avoiding any potential risks in the future. He has also been giving advice on how to navigate probation etc and has not been looking at the clock for billing.Although I wish I had never been arrested in the first place, I am glad I had Todd and his team in my corner. Without them I likely would have had to spend a lot more time in prison than I did.Thank you, Todd, and the entire Spodek Law team, for helping turn what was a nightmare into a manageable situation!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence.Thank you team!
I recently had Spodek Law Group represent me for a legal matter in NYC and I am thoroughly impressed with their services.Alex Zhik secured the best possible outcome for my case.It was a seamless journey from the initial consultation to the resolution of my legal matter. From the moment I spoke to Todd about my case, his enthusiasm to help was evident, setting a positive tone for the entire experience. The efficiency and professionalism displayed by the team is commendable.A particularly noteworthy aspect of their service is their user-friendly portal to upload your documents/evidence. This not only simplified the process, but showcases their commitment to streamline the client experience.Lastly, in an industry where legal fees can often be a concern, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, making needing legal assistance feel accessible and stress-free.I am grateful for their support and wouldn't hesitate to turn to them again in the future.
Despite our familiarity, many of us do not fully realize the cost associated with this process. There are lawyers who have to be hired, papers that have to be filed, property that has to be divided up, and so much more. It is never easy to get divorced on an emotional level, but it is also difficult on a financial level for the great majority of people as well.
Legal separation can be just as useful to some people while at the same time avoiding many of the costs associated with divorce. There are still some expenses related to this, but it is not nearly as much as a legal divorce.
What You Don’t Get With A Separation
Separation is not a process that is right for everyone. In fact, it is a relatively rare legal status to exist in. Many divorce courts require that the couple try out separation before proceeding to a formal divorce, but few couples decide to retain the separated status for longer than necessary. They either decide to make the marriage work and forego the divorce, or they proceed to get a divorce.
There are certainly some drawbacks to getting a legal separation. Consider for example the fact that a person may only be legally married to one individual at a time. Therefore, the person who is legally separated but not divorced cannot go out and find another spouse. They have to finish the divorce process before they would ever be able to get married again. That can frustrate things for people who are just ready to move on with their life again.
No Matter What, Get An Attorney
Regardless of the route a particular person decides to take in their own life, they should seek out an attorney to help them with the process. Attorneys know what measures to take in court to make sure the legal process goes as smoothly as possible for their clients. They stand up for those client’s rights, and they try to get them the best deal that they possibly can. While they do cost money, most would agree that they are worth every penny that they are paid when the results come back.
