Hampton Bays Divorce and Family Law Attorney

Divorce and family lawyer in Hampton Bays, serving the East End

Beau Taylor Law, PLLC's main office is at 36 Good Ground Road in Hampton Bays, in the heart of the Town of Southampton. For families east of the Shinnecock Canal, finding an experienced matrimonial attorney has usually meant driving to Hauppauge, Melville, or Garden City. The firm was built to change that. Beau Taylor lives and practices on the East End and handles divorce, custody, support, and order of protection matters for clients in Hampton Bays, Southampton, East Hampton, Westhampton Beach, Quogue, East Quogue, Sag Harbor, Riverhead, Southold, Greenport, Shelter Island, and Montauk.

East End cases have East End issues

Divorces on the South Fork and North Fork look different from divorces in western Suffolk. The marital home may be a second home for one spouse and a primary residence for the other. Income is often seasonal, self employed, or earned in a trade, which makes support calculations and the imputation of income central. Family businesses, farms, restaurants, and construction companies need to be valued and sometimes divided. Children may be split between the East End and the city during the school year. The firm handles these issues every week.

• Equitable distribution of Hamptons and North Fork real estate
• Support cases involving seasonal, cash, or self employment income
• Valuation and division of local businesses
• Custody and parenting schedules between the East End and New York City
• Relocation disputes
• Prenuptial agreements for second marriages and significant separate property
• Uncontested divorce for a $2,500 flat fee

Where your case will be heard

Family Court petitions for the Town of Southampton, East Hampton, Riverhead, Southold, and Shelter Island are heard in Suffolk County Family Court, which sits in Central Islip, with some matters assigned to the Riverhead facility. Matrimonial actions are heard in Suffolk County Supreme Court in Central Islip or Riverhead. Surrogate's Court is in Riverhead. Beau Taylor appears in these courts nearly every week, and the Hauppauge office is minutes from the Central Islip courthouse complex when a meeting near the courthouse is more convenient.
