I am Arlene Colangelo, a White Plains family law attorney. I help clients resolve difficult family issues by taking the time to understand their unique circumstances and drawing on my experience to protect their interests. I handle all types of family law matters, including:
• Divorce: Whether your divorce can be resolved through a separation agreement or it becomes necessary to litigate it in court, I have the experience to be your advocate.
• Property Division: The division of assets in divorce has long-term consequences. I will carefully guide you through the classification, valuation, and distribution of marital assets.
• Child Custody: The custody of children after divorce or breakup is one of the most crucial family law issues. I will help you make sure your children’s interests are protected.
• Same-sex Divorce: I have been handling family law matters involving same-sex relationships since long before same-sex marriage was legalized in New York State.
• Prenuptial Agreements: If you are entering a new marriage and are concerned about protecting your assets and your children, I can help you draft a prenuptial agreement.
• Family Court Practice: I frequently represent clients in family court matters, including paternity cases, domestic abuse cases, and temporary child and spousal support cases.
In any family law matter, it is important for your attorney to understand what is going on in your life and your children’s lives at least as well as you do. That is the benefit of hiring an experiences solo practitioner to be your advocate and adviser throughout the legal process.
