PC: 412123/412123E (PSS)

Covering the many facets of matrimonial practice, this practice guide addresses the commencement of the case, disclosure, trial preparation, New York's no-fault divorce law, and more.

Matrimonial Law provides a step-by-step overview for the practitioner handling a basic matrimonial case. New attorneys will benefit from the clear, basic review of the fundamentals and experienced practitioners will benefit from the numerous “Practice Guides” and use this book to reinforce their own methods of practice.

New and experienced practitioners alike will appreciate the excellent forms and checklists included in this publication. While the substantive law governing matrimonial actions is well covered, the emphasis is on the practical — the frequently encountered aspects of representing clients.

This practice guide also includes a set of Downloadable Forms. The 2022-2023 release is current through the 2022 legislative session.
