Robert De Niro Won’t Be Splitting His $500 Million Fortune with Estranged Wife In Divorce Settlement

Posted On: October 25, 2021

The court chose to honor the contract made prior to the marriage where the parties agree that Mr. De Niro‘s income would not be marital property, but separate property. In addition, his attorneys argued that the 77 year old De Niro should not be required to continue working to support his wife’s spending and lavish lifestyle.

This decision is a clear example of why prenuptial agreements are vital to protect separate property as well as future property and earnings.

New Law Extends Child Support For Adults With Developmental Disabilities

Posted On: October 18, 2021

Some long over due help for parents and families with adult children with disabilities...

State lawmakers are cheering the final approval of a new law that will allow the parents of adults with developmental disabilities to continue to receive child support payments. 

The measure approved this month by Gov. Kathy Hochul allows parents of children with developmental disabilities to petition courts to receive support payments until their child is 26 -- providing expanded years of support for families. 

“This critical, common-sense piece of bi-partisan legislation will help the custodial parents of dependent adult-age children with disabilities support and provide for their families,” said Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner, who sponsored the bill alongside Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh. “The needs of children with disabilities extend beyond the age of majority, and child support payments can be a lifeline for custodial parents to care for and meet the needs of their children.
