New York City Contested Divorce Lawyers Ethan Steward and Martin Mohr Explains the Cost of a Contested Divorce in NY

Aug 10, 2022

August 10, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - New York City contested divorce lawyers Ethan Steward and Martin Mohr release a new article (https://www.newyorkfamilylawgroup.com/contested-divorce-lawyer/) explaining the costs involved in a contested divorce in NY. The lawyers mention that in New York, there are two ways to get a divorce. A contested divorce is one option if there are important matters to be discussed and agreed to between spouses such as child custody, property division, and spousal support.

“A contested divorce happens when the spouses cannot reach an agreement on the final terms of their divorce. The potential for lengthy, complicated legal battles about asset division can result from a contested divorce. This is especially true if there are minor children. If you don't take immediate action to safeguard your interests, you may end up in a settlement that leaves you with major financial disadvantages,” the article from the New York City contested divorce lawyers say.

The lawyers add that contested divorces are usually more expensive because of the time and other costs needed to prepare for litigation. While it is possible to represent oneself, it is not always the best option because one mistake can have a significant impact on the person’s life. Having a skilled contested divorce lawyer is important to make sure that the divorce is going where the client wants it to go.

Attorney Martin Mohr adds that one cost involved in a contested divorce in New York City is the court fees. The fees are usually uniform throughout the city except if the other spouse is considered poor. In order to waive the court fees, one must apply for the status of being poor before filing the divorce. The usual court fee for divorce proceedings is $335.00 minimum if the person filing the request is not poor.

In the article, family law attorney Ethan Steward adds, “The circumstances of your case will determine the fees you pay a lawyer. You may be charged between $250.00 and $450.00 an hour by the lawyer/law office you consult. Most cases require a retainer deposit to cover the fees upfront and to have the firm officially 'appear’ in the case. Lawyers appearing in court proceedings on behalf of their clients can't simply withdraw or quit without permission from the court. Even if they owe money, a retainer provides security to the attorney that ensures that they are paid at least the retainer amount.”

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled attorney when dealing with matters such as domestic violence. A skilled lawyer may be able to help the victim protect their rights and build a strong case against the abuser.

Hyundai Motor poised to rank No. 3 in US quarterly sales, closing in on Ford

Hyundai Motor Group is poised to overtake Ford Motor in quarterly vehicle sales in the United States for the first time, underscoring the growing presence of the Korean automaker in the world’s largest car market. Cox Automotive estimates that the group’s three brands — Hyundai Motor, Kia and Genesis — will sell 511,421 vehicles in the U.S. between July and September, up 6.5 percent from a year earlier. By contrast, Ford is projected to sell 504,172 vehicles, down 7.1 percent, according to the market researcher’s latest forecast. If the estimates hold, Hyundai Motor Group would rank third in quarterly U.S. sales behind General Motors, with 671,706 vehicles, and Toyota Motor, with 642,707. The result would mark the first time the Korean group has surpassed Ford on a quarterly basis. The shift comes as U.S. consumers increasingly favor fuel-efficient vehicles amid elevated gasoline prices. Utilizing the market condition, Hyundai Motor Group has been going all-out to expand hybrid sales in the U.S. However, Ford sells much fewer hybrid or fuel-efficient vehicles there. Cox Automotiv

China routes emerge as key revenue source for struggling Korean LCCs

China routes emerge as key revenue source for struggling Korean LCCs

China is emerging as a critical earnings lifeline for Korea’s struggling low-cost carriers (LCCs), offering them access to fast-growing passenger demand and lucrative business traffic as growth in other short-haul markets loses steam. Some 2.13 million passengers traveled between Korea and China in August, surpassing the previous monthly record of about 2.07 million set in August 2016, before the fallout from the deployment of a U.S. missile defense system in Korea severely disrupted bilateral tourism. The August figure was up 27.5 percent from a year earlier and 9.7 percent from July, according to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The rebound comes as Korean airlines are gaining access to some of the most commercially attractive China routes. In the latest allocation of traffic rights, the government gave major LCCs additional slots on routes linking Seoul with Beijing and Shanghai, as well as Guangzhou, Dalian and other Chinese cities. Jeju Air and Eastar Jet each secured seven weekly flights on the Incheon-Beijing route, while Parata Air and Air Premia re

Coupang dispute raises stakes in Korea's $350 bil. US investment talks

Korean regulators’ hardline stance toward Coupang is complicating Seoul’s talks with Washington over the next stages of its planned $350 billion investment in the United States. The latest development came Wednesday when the Seoul High Court rejected Coupang’s request to suspend the effect of a Fair Trade Commission (FTC) decision ordering an on-site inspection of the U.S.-headquartered e-commerce firm’s alleged violations of a local fair transaction act. Coupang had refused to cooperate with the probe, arguing that the FTC failed to provide advance notice. The court ruling allows the FTC to proceed with the investigation. FTC Chairman Ju Biung-ghi has vowed to review the agency’s internal rules to close what he described as loopholes that allow companies to delay or evade investigations through court injunctions. He has also rejected U.S. criticism that the regulator is discriminating against American companies, saying the FTC will continue to enforce Korean law without regard to nationality. The confrontation is particularly sensitive, as Korea and the U.S. work to flesh out t
