Robert B. Pollack
THE POLLACK LAW FIRM, P.C. www.DivorceLaw4U.com FREE CASE ANALYSIS!
I founded The Pollack Law Firm, P.C. in 1997, focusing exclusively on matrimonial and family law, including contested and uncontested divorce, separation, prenuptial agreements, modifications, enforcement, and other related legal areas.
I am recognized as one of the leading divorce attorneys in Nassau and Suffolk counties. I hold a "Preeminent AV Rated" title by Martindale-Hubbell among many other awards and honors I have received throughout my career.
In 2015, I was appointed to the Matrimonial Special Masters Panel in Nassau County. In this role as Special Master, I assist the Court by collaborating with attorneys and clients in particularly challenging cases. I leverage my extensive experience in matrimonial law and divorce mediation to help resolve issues that are stalling the finalization of cases.
A significant milestone in my career occurred in 2007 when I made law in New York with my unique and successful arguments in the Nassau County case of C.H. v. R.H. This "case of first impression" not only brought significant media attention to me and The Pollack Law Firm, P.C., but it also continues to stand as good law in New York today.
The Pollack Law Firm, P.C. has achieved successful outcomes in numerous divorce and family law cases over the years. I am truly proud of the excellent reputation my firm has established with clients, colleagues, and the courts.
I have published numerous articles in various magazines on topics including divorce, separation, prenuptial agreements, child support, domestic violence, and other family law matters.
The Pollack Law Firm, P.C. and I have received over 100 “5 Star” client reviews on Google, Avvo.com, and other lawyer rating sites.
I have been admitted to the bar in New York State since January 1997 and in the US Federal Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts since November and December 2000, respectively.

- Q. I divorced years ago, 13 years ago, and have been paying child support monthly since then.
- A: Your child is 18; have you asked your child where he or she would rather attend college, meaning, Jamaica or in the US? Looking back on the history you describe concerning her adversely impacting your relationship with your child, there could have been opportunities to reduce or eliminate child support back then. All of this would have been fact and circumstance dependent but now that there is a child who in NY, where the court would have no jurisdiction over as to custody and parenting time, still can make an order concerning and upward modification for basic child support and order you to pay your pro rata share of college. Of course, your argument that you could enroll your child in a less ... Read More
- Q. My sister is disabled due to MS...her husband is divorcing her after 30 plus years , calling it a Medicaid divorce. Her
- A: What is sometimes referred to as a "Medicaid divorce" from experience, this may involve certain less than ethical maneuvers that your sister may need to be concerned about and I will not advise or comment about. Your sister needs help and advice for sure. The need for an attorney is clear; she is in a long term marriage. Her income is fixed and limited. Her ability to become self supporting is unlikely and that would impact any disability payment she is receiving. Although you indicate that the marriage has significant debt, you do not indicate if her husband is employed or capable of supporting himself and her, the existence of debt notwithstanding. Also, just because someone ... Read More
- Q. Can a paralegal write a stipulation of settlement for a divorce filing without a lawyer involved?
- A: The role and permitted duties of paralegals differ throughout the USA. In some states, paralegals are licensed and can perform certain functions that an attorney would otherwise have to do. Paralegals cannot practice law; only attorneys can do that. However, there is no legal requirement in NY that anyone particular must write a stipulation of settlement. The parties themselves can write it. So long as it comports with the applicable laws to be able to enforce it, contains any mandatory language and/or calculations that the particular jurisdiction may require and is executed in accordance with the local requirements, there should be no issue. But it must never be forgotten that a Stipulation ... Read More
