Divorce & Family Law

Service Overview

Divorce and family law matters in New York are among the most personally difficult legal situations a person can face. In New York, divorces are filed and decided in the New York Supreme Court (the state's trial-level court of general jurisdiction). New York Family Court handles related matters such as child custody, visitation, child support, paternity, guardianship, and orders of protection — but Family Court does not grant divorces.

Dial4Law connects New York residents with independent, licensed family law attorneys who handle every stage of divorce and family matters across NYC's five boroughs and New York State. Our intake team reviews your situation, identifies the specific type of family matter you're dealing with, and shares your case with an attorney whose practice covers that area — whether your case involves contested divorce in Supreme Court, custody disputes in Family Court, prenuptial agreements, or post-divorce modifications.

Dial4Law aims to share your case with a matched attorney typically within 2 hours during normal business hours. For situations involving domestic violence, immediate child safety, or court deadlines, we escalate the case and recommend that you also contact appropriate authorities or a lawyer directly without delay.

The Final Result

When you submit your family law situation to Dial4Law, we share your case with a New York family law attorney whose practice covers the issues you're facing. The attorney will explain your rights under New York's Domestic Relations Law and the Family Court Act, walk through your options, and discuss what to expect at each stage.

There is no upfront cost to use Dial4Law's matching service. Many attorneys in our network offer free initial consultations, but consultation fees vary by attorney — your matched attorney will explain their fees before you commit. Information you share during the matching process is handled per our Privacy Policy. Communications with Dial4Law are not attorney-client privileged. Privilege applies only between you and an attorney who agrees to represent you.
