From The Law Office of Ryan Besinque – Experienced Manhattan Contested Divorce Lawyers explores the challenging landscape of ending a marriage when agreement isn’t on the table. Host Ryan Besinque guides listeners through how a contested divorce differs dramatically from an uncontested one, especially here in Manhattan and across New York City. You’ll hear how spouses navigate court decisions, what triggers litigation, and why the right approach matters for you and your children.
In this episode we dive into the fundamentals of contested divorce: when a marriage breakdown leads to the court stepping in via the New York Supreme Court, when key issues such as property division, custody or spousal support cannot be settled by the parties themselves, and why discovery and motions play such a critical role in shaping outcomes. With expertise rooted in Manhattan practice and real-world examples from Ryan’s career, listeners will gain insight into how decisions are made and how to prepare for the process.
We then turn to the alternatives: how uncontested divorce works, when it may make sense, and how negotiation or mediation can change the dynamic. We discuss how full financial disclosure, cooperation, and strategic timing can reduce cost, time and emotional toll — and how even contested cases might reach a settlement outside of a full trial. Whether you’re facing high-asset matters, hidden assets, or domestically complex issues — or you simply want a smoother path — this conversation offers clarity.
Finally, we explore the human side: how communication breakdown, power imbalances, or children’s needs complicate matters; how the Request for Judicial Intervention and steps like discovery set the timeline; and how Ryan Besinque and his team tailor their approach to each family’s unique situation in Manhattan. If you’re on the verge of divorce, wondering which path to take, or seeking to understand how the system works in New York City — tune in for a practical yet compassionate guide through one of life’s biggest transitions.
