Bronx Divorce Lawyers Ethan Steward and Martin Mohr Explains Who Gets the Apartment in a Divorce

Jun 29, 2022

June 29, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Bronx divorce lawyers Ethan Steward and Martin Mohr release a new article (https://www.newyorkfamilylawgroup.com/blog/who-gets-the-apartment-in-a-divorce/) explaining who will get the apartment after a divorce in New York. The lawyer mentions that buying or building a home in New York is not easy. When a couple decides to divorce, New York law advocates for equitable sharing of marital property. This means that everything acquired during the marriage has to be split between the couple.

“The most straightforward way is to sell the apartment and share the equity with your spouse. If neither of you wants to retain the house and you both want a fresh start, then selling the apartment is an ideal option. However, if there are kids who are still under your care, this option might not work well with them, given that they’re already facing a significant crisis in their lives,” the article from the Bronx divorce lawyers says.

Attorney Martin Mohr explains that when children are involved, the court will often decide that the apartment will be kept by the custodial parent. When the kids are all grown, the parents can agree to sell the house. This can be the best scenario for immediate emotional security, especially in a rented apartment.

Family law attorney Ethan Steward further adds that the parents can also sell the apartment while they are separated. This situation may not be easy, however, it can also be difficult to agree on who will own the house or how it will be sold.

In the article, the lawyers add, “Alternatively, you can consider the costs of keeping an apartment in New York. Ensure you understand everything involved in keeping the house, including maintenance, mortgage, repair, and possible taxes. Once you establish the cost per year, figure out what happens if you decide to sell it in the future. If you are likely to gain financially, you may want to keep the house and sell it later.”

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled child support attorney when dealing with matters such as child custody and visitation. A skilled lawyer may be able to help the parents understand their roles and responsibilities in the divorce and help them come to a favorable agreement.

NU, Letran dispute solo lead in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Five-peat-seeking National University braces for Letran’s tough resistance when the two unbeaten teams clash for the solo lead in Pool A of the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Friday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.    Lady Bulldogs head coach Norman Miguel sees the reigning NCAA champion Lady Knights as one of the biggest threats to their reign. Miguel knows that even with NU’s advantage in depth and firepower, Letran is not a team to be taken lightly when they meet at 3 p.m. as action in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea resumes after an 11-day break.     “Letran, being the NCAA champion, has gained so much experience and we know magagamit nila sa game ‘yun. Kaya walang reason para maging complacent kami sa game,” Miguel said. The Lady Bulldogs had a dominating start in their title-retention bid, sweeping past San Beda University, 25-14, 25-19, 25-18, last September 26. Arah Panique, who scored nine points in the previous match, will again lead NU’s charge alongside veterans Vange Alinsug, Alexa Mata, Chams Maaya, Celine Marsh, Harlyn Serneche and Sam Cantada. The Lady Knights, meanwhile, are coming off a huge opening-day win after tripping Arellano University, 25-19, 18-25, 25-18, 25-18, last September 27. Letran coach Aleksi Lahteenmaki is pinning his hopes on Judiel Nitura, Carlyn Tizon, Sheena Sarie and Kaizah Huyno to pull off an upset over NU. Meanwhile, Far Eastern University and San Sebastian College-Recoletos square off at 1 p.m. to open the triple-header playdate of the tournament, supported by Smart, PusoP.com DICT, Executive Optical, Milo and Summit Natural Drinking Water, with the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners.  The Lady Tamaraws and Lady Stags are tied on top of Pool C. FEU hurdled Ateneo De Manila University, 25-20, 25-13, 25-12, in its first game while SSC-R outlasted Emilio Aguinaldo College in a come-from-behind, 16-25, 18-25, 27-25, 25-23, 15-6, thriller. In the other pairing, University of the Philippines debuts against rebound-seeking University of the East at 5 p.m. in their Pool D showdown. The Lady Warriors seek to bounce back from a 22-25, 26-24, 26-24, 12-25, 13-15, defeat to Lyceum of the Philippines University. All games are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports. TMT
