FAMILY LAW

In addition to the firm's specialty in tax matters and related litigation, we are at the forefront of domestic relations law. While domestic relations law may seem inconsistent with a practice rooted in tax and business matters, closer examination reveals a natural association between the two.

Although participants in domestic disputes typically focus on emotional issues, the law and courts are very much concerned with financial matters. The resolution of domestic disputes requires a keen understanding of the personal as well as economic partnership that is a marriage. Attorneys must possess the tools and techniques necessary to demonstrate the financial nature and extent of such a partnership to the courts. Thus the economic and forensic techniques that figure into tax audits and litigation are particularly suited to locating and evaluating hidden or obscure assets in matrimonial actions.

Our firm was instrumental in the formulation of the basic principles of equitable distribution law in the landmark case of Price v. Price. This case is still the dominant decision at the heart of equitable distribution determinations in New York, and is cited regularly by courts.
