They Target Husbands Who Fear Being Underdog in Battles Over Child Custody, Property, Money
By JENNIFER SMITH
Divorce lawyers seeking an edge in a crowded legal marketplace have found a niche they say pays off in good times and bad: appealing to men who fear getting a bad deal.
While New York's efforts to overhaul its alimony laws may have stalled this summer, other states in the region are taking initial steps toward change.
Officials in New Jersey and Connecticut introduced legislation this year to help the states make significant changes to their alimony laws, spurred by advocates who are seeking to eliminate lifetime awards and make it easier to modify settlements if financial circumstances change.
Attorney Gaetano “Guy” Ferro said regardless of whether the big bread winner is a male or a female, there are still problems in Connecticut with judges being inconsistent with the size of alimony awards.
