West Village divorce attorneys at Miller Law Group bring a 97% settlement rate, 150+ years of combined experience, and a mediation-first philosophy to every New York divorce case.
Key Takeaways:
- New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly based on the specific circumstances of the marriage, not necessarily 50/50.
- Collaborative divorce and mediation allow West Village couples to resolve property, maintenance, and custody outside of court and on their own terms.
- Miller Law Group has settled 97% of cases without litigation, built on a philosophy of replacing hostility with negotiation and empowering families to divorce with dignity.
Divorce does not have to mean litigation. In New York, couples have meaningful options for resolving every aspect of their dissolution through processes that keep decision-making in their own hands. Collaborative divorce and mediation produce better outcomes for most families at lower cost, with less lasting damage to the relationships that matter most.
We are Miller Law Group. Our thoughtful West Village divorce attorneys have built an eight-attorney practice around a single conviction: families deserve to move through divorce with dignity and intelligence. Founding attorney Katherine Eisold Miller spent ten years in litigation before walking away from adversarial practice entirely, and her book, The Emotionally Savvy Divorce, reflects the same philosophy that guides every case.

What New York Divorce Law Requires You to Resolve
Every New York divorce requires the parties to address a defined set of legal and financial issues. Understanding what is on the table is the starting point for any intelligent strategy.
Equitable distribution means a New York court divides marital assets and debts fairly based on the specific circumstances of the marriage. The length of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, and future earning capacity all factor in.
Maintenance follows a statutory formula, though courts retain discretion to deviate. In longer marriages where one spouse stepped back from their career, maintenance can be a central issue.
Custody and visitation are determined under the best interests of the child standard. These issues benefit enormously from a cooperative resolution framework, where parents design the parenting arrangement themselves.
Negotiated resolution is how the vast majority of New York divorces actually conclude. A well-structured agreement reflects the specific realities of your family in ways a court order rarely can.
How Our West Village Divorce Attorneys Approach Your Case
At Miller Law Group, our approach begins with a genuine assessment of your goals and your family’s dynamics. Every path is evaluated on its merits, not on habit or default.
Mediation places a neutral professional at the center to help both spouses reach agreement. Our attorneys prepare clients thoroughly for every session and represent them throughout the process.
Collaborative divorce brings each spouse and their attorney into a structured out-of-court process. Katherine Miller has been a leader in collaborative practice in New York for over 20 years.
Negotiated settlement through attorney-to-attorney communication remains effective where the parties have already achieved alignment. Our skilled West Village divorce attorneys approach every negotiation with a thorough command of New York equitable distribution law.
