Divorce is never easy, but the right attorney can make the process clearer, faster, and less stressful. Attorney Scott Cerio represents clients in contested and uncontested divorces throughout Syracuse and Central New York, fighting for fair outcomes on property division, custody, and support.
In a contested divorce, spouses disagree on one or more issues — property division, child custody, child support, or alimony. These cases require an attorney who can negotiate effectively and, when necessary, litigate in court. In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on all terms and the process is typically faster and less expensive.
Attorney Cerio also handles prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, separation agreements, and property valuations — the full spectrum of matters that arise before, during, and after a marriage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in New York?
An uncontested divorce in New York can be finalized in as little as 3-6 months. Contested divorces vary significantly based on the complexity of the issues involved and whether the case goes to trial. Attorney Cerio works to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting your interests.
How is property divided in a New York divorce?
New York is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly — but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse's income and assets, and contributions to the marriage. Attorney Cerio advocates for a division that protects your financial future.
