How We Help You Move Forward
Collaborative Divorce
In the Collaborative Divorce process, you and your spouse each have your own attorney and agree in writing not to litigate. Our role is to help you get clear on your priorities and make sure your voice is heard—possibly in a way that you weren't heard in your marriage. Instead of pulling you apart, our goal is to help you move forward together. Throughout this process, a team of professionals, including divorce coaches and financial experts, will help you address your emotional, legal, and financial concerns, ensuring a respectful and peaceful resolution based on interests instead of positions.
Mediation
In Mediation, we serve as neutral facilitators, guiding discussions to help you reach a durable agreement. While we don't give legal advice or make decisions for you, we provide valuable legal information to assist in resolving your issues. You can also consult with your own attorneys throughout the process, ensuring you advocate effectively for yourself and have the final agreement reviewed on your behalf.
Pre-Divorce Guidance
Choosing divorce is a difficult decision, and you don’t have to face it alone. Vacca Family Law Group is here to help. Through our Pre-Divorce Guidance, we provide a clear roadmap, outline your best options, and help you minimize risks.
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial Agreements are documents signed before marriage that help couples clarify their financial rights and obligations in the event of a divorce. They can also outline what rights each spouse will have if the other passes away. The most common reason people seek to sign a Prenuptial Agreement is to protect assets they had prior to the marriage.
Postnuptial Agreements are signed after marriage and serve to clarify financial arrangements and responsibilities in case of a divorce. They offer couples a chance to address their financial rights and obligations as circumstances evolve during the marriage.

Testimonials
- Negotiated Divorce Client
My fiancé and I worked with Marcos on a mediated prenup. The entire team at the firm was of great assistance. We were provided referrals for our consulting attorneys and a check list to work through on our own in between calls with Marcos. The process, although naturally overwhelming, was made as easy as I could imagine with the guidance provided. As this being both my partner and I's first marriage, we did not have a full grasp of the legal implications of getting married. Marcos did a wonderful job explaining the default law and helping us find the areas where my fiancé and I wanted to customize our terms in the case of separation. Our prenup took about 3.5 months from initial consultation to signing. From what I found online, this seems to be pretty typical for a mediated prenup. We gave ourselves about 5 months to get it done and I am so glad we did not rush ourselves.
Vacca provided a free consultation where Marcos and team offered guidance and resources for my partner and I to make the best decision for us before engaging in the process. I would recommend scheduling a consultation if you are seeking prenup services. Even if you don't end up working with Vacca, they will do a wonderful job pointing you in the right direction.

Andrea and Marcos were absolutely great partners through an incredibly tough process spanning a year and a half. Not only do they bring a wealth of experience, they're consistent, ethical, and incredibly detail oriented. Moreover, they're dedicated to trying to reduce conflict and find solutions that work for everyone. I'm really grateful I found them and would highly recommend.
- Collaborative Divorce Client
Andrea and her team were incredibly helpful and extremely kind and professional in navigating what is typically considered a difficult and complicated legal process. While going through the divorce proceedings they were thorough and efficient in explaining the process, why certain protections were important for me to consider, and they took a long view of my needs while providing guidance with a lot of empathy and a personal touch. Not only did they pay attention to where my proceedings stood and paid close attention to details and timing, during covid when the courts were shut down, but proactively kept me posted on how things were progressing. Really loved working with Vacca Family Law Group.

If you are looking for a firm to help with your prenuptial agreement, I highly recommend the Vacca Family Law Group.
After my initial consultation with Marcos Fernandez and his team, I searched no more. He is clearly an expert in this field, and very meticulous in his work. His guidance and knowledge is really invaluable, in addition to being very patient and approachable throughout the entire process. He also facilitated a four-way approach to ensure my (now) husband and I were fairly represented, which was a unique style in comparison to the conventional route.
The entire team behind him was also very responsive with excellent communication. Thank you again to everyone.
- Prenuptial Agreement Client
Was struggling with getting my divorce done, until I ran into Andrea Vacca. It wasn't the happiest of times for me, but Andrea was great. She is pleasant to deal with and she just took care of it. Besides having a few calls, I only saw her one more time and that was to pickup the documents to sign. I went over, signed and that was it. I would very much recommend Vacca Family Law to others.
- Collaborative Divorce Client
Did such an amazing job providing mediation for my fiancé and I, making us feel both represented and cared for, while avoiding potential hostile pitfalls of getting a lawyer each. The experience felt transparent and smooth. The entire team is kind, compassionate and professional. Would work with them again in a heartbeat.
- Prenuptial Agreement Mediation Client
My experience with VFLG couldn't have been better. Andrea and team were recommended to me after a really messy, negative experience with another firm. Marcos handled our agreement, and I found him extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who asks in the future.
- Postnuptial Agreement Client
Andrea and her entire team were able to create a safe and productive environment during a time when that was exactly what I needed, but last expected. Now 3 years later, my ex-husband and I are able to communicate openly and honestly in regards to our son which was my main concern during the divorce process. I really couldn't have planned it any better.

I am the president of Heron Wealth, serving executive families in New York City and the surrounding area. For years, I have sent my clients to Vacca Family Law Group to for pre-nuptial work, and for divorce mediation when that service becomes necessary.
So when I married recently myself, I went straight to Andrea Vacca to represent my interests in preparing our pre-nuptial agreement. It was a second marriage for both parties, so details were a little complicated, but Andrea did a great job of interviewing me to get all the information, and then working in a friendly and collegial manner with my fiancée's attorney to draft and finalize our agreement. The whole process took two months start to finish, and was signed and notarized over Zoom.
Professional and responsive!

Ms. Vacca was exceedingly reliable and thorough in her analysis of my divorce situation; so much so that her acumen saved me upwards of $25,000.00. More specifically, my wife's attorney had miscalculated the amount owed to me from the sale of a jointly owned apartment: Ms. Vacca caught the error and I was 'saved.'
- Divorce Client
Working with Vacca Family Law Group was a pleasant experience. Maire and Thom are very responsive; most of my emails were replied within 30 minutes. My attorney, Marcos, is friendly, attentive, and professional. With his expertise in the field, he managed to capture my questions accurately and answered them in great details. From beginning to the end, he was always there to help. If you are looking for non-adversarial family law support, Vacca Law is the one to go for.

Marcos Fernandez has shown incredible thorough work and research regarding my legal matter. His approach was calm and compassionate. His demeanor has brought a piece of mind to me, that is priceless. The supportive staff was very skilled in their ad-lib research, providing me with the confidence I needed to trust this team and return to their legal advice should I ever need it in the future.
- Mediation Consulting Client
If you need a law firm that specializes in family law, you must use Vacca Family Law group. The staff was friendly, professional, and extremely attentive. All the staff responded in an timely and professional manner and took the time to explain all the details regarding my case.
I specifically worked with Marcos Fernandez and I could not have been happier with my experience working with him. He was knowledgeable of all the specific law and was able to explain them in a succinct and clear manner which made the process that much easier. I truly felt like I was in great hands working with Mr. Fernandez. If you are in need of a family law firm, and are looking for friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and caring staff then you should absolutely hire the Vacca Family law group team.
