Each divorce is unique, and our approach is tailored to your specific goals, financial interests, and family dynamics.
Property Division in Nassau County Divorce: Equitable Doesn’t Always Mean Equal
Under New York’s equitable distribution laws, marital property is divided based on fairness — not a strict 50/50 split. Nassau County divorces often involve high-value homes, retirement assets, business interests, and investment portfolios, which demand strategic legal planning and careful financial analysis.
Attorney David Laniado is experienced in:
- Identifying and distinguishing marital vs. separate property
- Tracing commingled assets and addressing transmutation
- Working with forensic accountants to uncover hidden or undervalued assets
- Valuing businesses, professional licenses, and executive compensation
- Protecting trust interests, inheritances, or pre-marital holdings
We ensure your financial interests are accurately valued and vigorously protected.
Spousal Support (Maintenance): Fair, Sustainable, and Strategic
Spousal support in New York is based on statutory formulas, but courts retain discretion to adjust awards based on numerous factors. Whether you are seeking support or defending against excessive demands, Attorney Laniado ensures that outcomes reflect financial reality.
Key Considerations:
- Duration of the marriage
- Income and earning capacity of each spouse
- Contributions to the marriage (financial and non-financial)
- Age, health, and future earning ability
- Standard of living during the marriage
We fight for results that are equitable — not punitive — and ensure your future is financially viable.
High-Net-Worth Divorce in Nassau County
High-asset divorces demand specialized knowledge and the ability to manage complex legal and financial challenges. Nassau County divorce lawyer David Laniado is trusted by entrepreneurs, physicians, executives, and professionals throughout Long Island for matters involving:
- Privately held businesses and partnerships
- Real estate portfolios (local and international)
- Stock options, deferred compensation, RSUs
- Trusts, offshore assets, and estate planning overlaps
- Tax-efficient settlement structures
In these sensitive, high-stakes situations, discretion, negotiation skills, and courtroom tenacity matter — and Attorney Laniado delivers all three.
Child Custody & Parenting Time: Protecting Parental Rights and Children’s Well-Being
Child custody cases are among the most emotionally charged areas of family law. At the Law Offices of David Laniado, we prioritize the child’s best interests while fiercely protecting your parental rights.
Nassau County Custody Services Include:
- Negotiating or litigating joint or sole legal custody
- Determining physical custody and parenting time
- Crafting detailed, enforceable parenting plans
- Advocating in relocation and parental alienation cases
- Representing clients in custody evaluations and forensic investigations
New York courts apply the “best interest of the child” standard — but it takes clear, credible advocacy to ensure your voice is heard. We build strong, child-centered arguments supported by evidence and expert insight.
Child Support: Accuracy, Fairness, and Full Financial Disclosure
Child support is not a guess — it’s a legal obligation guided by the Child Support Standards Act (CSSA). Whether you are paying or receiving support, you need accurate calculations and skilled representation to ensure the final outcome is sustainable and just.
We handle:
- Initial support determinations
- Modifications due to income or custody changes
- Enforcement actions for unpaid support
- Disputes involving unreported income, imputed earnings, or self-employment
Attorney Laniado ensures all income sources are disclosed, all deductions are proper, and the support order reflects both legal standards and practical reality.
Post-Judgment Modifications & Enforcement
Life doesn’t stop after divorce — and sometimes, court orders need to evolve. Whether you’ve experienced a job change, a relocation, or a shift in parenting needs, we help clients seek or defend against changes to custody, visitation, or support.
Modification and Enforcement Services:
- Petitions to increase or decrease support
- Relocation requests or custody modifications
- Enforcement of visitation rights or court orders
- Contempt proceedings and income garnishments
We help ensure your court orders remain fair, enforceable, and reflective of current circumstances.
Appeals in Family Law: When the Court Gets It Wrong
Family court judges can make mistakes. If your case was decided based on legal errors, bias, or procedural issues, an appeal may be your best path forward. With extensive appellate experience, Attorney David Laniado prepares and argues family law appeals before New York’s higher courts.
Family Law Appeals May Involve:
- Improper property valuations or distributions
- Incorrect child support or spousal support awards
- Unjust custody decisions or denial of due process
- Flawed application of legal standards
We handle every aspect — from identifying appealable errors to crafting persuasive appellate briefs and delivering strong oral arguments.
