Can I Get Divorced with New York on PAUSE? | Petroske Riezenman & Meyers, P.C. An increase in divorce filings is expected when the lockdown is lifted. But you can get started now to beat the rush.

Consulting with an attorney is an important first step in the divorce process.
Meeting with your prospective attorney not only allows you to evaluate whether you feel comfortable with him or her, but will also allow him or her to give you a “big picture” initial assessment on what the process may look like for you.
Provided with the right information, an experienced divorce lawyer will be able to provide you with advice on the best ways to proceed, what you should expect, and what you are entitled to.

Brad Pitt may get residential custody of his children. You may be surprised to know that a celebrity custody court case is not much different than a custody matter with us “regular” people. One of the determining factors of which parent will be awarded residential custody of children is who the children want to live with. Typically in any court case regarding custody a child will be appointed their own attorney to represent them. This attorney will advocate for what the children want. Given the ages of the six Pitt/Jolie children (10-17 years old) the court will give serious consideration to what the children have to say. Rumor is that the children want to live with Brad. I will keep you posted as things progress with this case.
