According to some researchers there are only two main strategies that are used over the course of divorce negotiations and a New York custody lawyer will likely use the one that is most requested by his client. The first type of negotiation is a reciprocal agreement where give and take exists and decisions are made after discussing the possible end result with the other side. The other method is one in which a person isn't interested at all in negotiation and is only in it for his or her own survival and will take everything they can out of the divorce.
