A calm, affordable and efficient way to end your marriage. Our divorce attorney handles the paperwork, the court filings and the details so you can move forward with confidence.
Peaceful Divorce Legal Services for Brooklyn Families
Ending a marriage is one of the hardest decisions a person can make, yet the legal process does not have to add to the stress. When both spouses agree to separate and agree on the main terms, an uncontested divorce is often the fastest and most affordable path. As an uncontested divorce lawyer serving Brooklyn, we guide couples through each step with clear communication and respect for both sides.
An uncontested divorce means neither person fights the other in court. You agree to end the marriage, and you agree on matters such as property, support and, where there are children, custody and parenting time. Because there is no trial, the case is mostly a paperwork process. Careful preparation is what makes it quick, and that is where an experienced divorce attorney helps most.
Our office is located at 333-339 Adams St #2703, Brooklyn, NY 11201, close to the courts and public transport. We are open 24 hours, so you can reach us when it suits your schedule, whether you are working long shifts or raising a family.

Family law attorney experience, from no fault divorce to mediation and settlement agreements.
We accept cash, check and all major credit cards, which makes it easier to start without delay.
How an Uncontested Divorce Works
First, we meet for a divorce consultation to understand your situation and confirm that an uncontested route fits. Second, we help you and your spouse reach a written agreement covering property, debts, support and any parenting arrangements. Third, we prepare and file the required papers with the court. Finally, the court reviews the documents and, when everything is in order, signs the judgment of divorce.
The timeline depends partly on how quickly both of you complete and return the paperwork and partly on the court. We keep you informed so you always know what comes next. If your spouse cannot be found, lives overseas or will not sign, the case can still move forward, although the route changes and may take longer.
Not every divorce stays simple. If an agreement is not possible, our contested divorce lawyer experience means you are not left on your own. We can pivot to mediation, collaborative divorce or court representation while protecting your interests.

Common Divorce Situations We Handle
Many people worry that their case is too complicated for an uncontested divorce. In practice, most situations can still move forward. A spouse who cannot be found, who lives overseas, or who has not been seen in years does not stop a New York divorce, although the paperwork and delivery steps change. Having children does not automatically make a divorce contested either. It simply means there are more terms to agree on, and the court looks closely at them.
If you are unsure where you stand, a short call is the best place to start. We will tell you honestly what is realistic, what it may involve and what you can do right now to prepare.

About Our Brooklyn Divorce Law Practice
Experienced family law attorneys focused on peaceful, efficient and affordable divorce.
Who We Are
We are a Brooklyn divorce law practice built around a simple idea: you should speak directly to the attorney handling your matter. There is no maze of intake staff and no messages passed along. The person you talk to on your first call is the person who works on your file. Our owner, attorney Vladimir Nikhman, has been admitted to practice in New York since 2013 and previously served on the Executive Committee of the Family Law Section of the Brooklyn Bar Association.
The firm has been recognized by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys as a 10 Best law firm, and the attorney holds a 9.9 Superb rating on Avvo as of August 2026. These listings reflect client satisfaction and professional standing, and they are checked against each organization's published record.
Our Approach to Divorce
Every divorce is personal, and we treat it that way. Some couples want a quick divorce attorney who can finish the paperwork in the shortest reasonable time. Others need divorce mediation to settle sensitive issues such as parenting schedules or the family home. Some prefer a collaborative divorce lawyer so that both spouses keep control of the outcome. We explain each option in plain language and help you choose the path that fits your family and your budget.
We believe the best result is usually the one both spouses can live with. A mutual consent divorce saves money, protects privacy and reduces conflict, which matters most when children are involved. At the same time, we are prepared to stand firm. If your spouse refuses to cooperate, we use the court process to protect your rights and your future.

We help you understand the effect of each decision, plan for life after divorce, and avoid mistakes that can cause problems years later, such as unclear settlement wording or missed filings.
What to Expect When You Call
When you contact us, we listen first. We ask about your marriage, your children if any, your property and your goals. We then explain whether an uncontested path is realistic and what the process will cost. You will not be pressured to sign anything on the first call. Our aim is to give you honest information so that you can decide with confidence.
Throughout the case, we keep you informed about deadlines, documents and court dates. If your situation changes, for example if you and your spouse disagree on a point that once looked settled, we tell you right away and adjust the plan. Plain communication and steady guidance are what our clients value most.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an uncontested divorce in New York?
It is a divorce where both spouses agree to end the marriage and agree on the terms, so no one argues in front of a judge. It is mostly a paperwork process.
How long does an uncontested divorce take?
Part of the timeline is yours to control and part belongs to the court. Anyone promising an exact date is guessing.
Can we stay uncontested if we have children?
Yes. Children do not automatically make a divorce contested, but you must agree on more issues and the court reviews them closely.
What if my spouse will not sign?
Refusal to sign does not stop a divorce in New York. It changes the route and usually makes the case slower.
Can I divorce if I cannot find my spouse?
Yes. Not knowing where your spouse is does not stop a New York divorce. It changes how the papers are delivered and adds a step.
What if my spouse lives overseas?
A spouse abroad does not prevent a New York divorce, provided New York is the right place to file. The questions are about jurisdiction and delivery of papers.
Do you offer divorce mediation?
Yes. Mediation and collaborative divorce help couples settle parenting, property and support without a courtroom fight.
