NEW YORK, NY – The Law Office of Richard Roman Shum, Esq. has announced the relocation of its practice to a new office at 20 Clinton St. FRNT, New York, NY 10002. Manhattan divorce attorney Richard Shum (https://www.romanshum.com/), who brings over 15 years of experience in family law, shared details of the move and the firm’s continued commitment to clients on the firm’s website, emphasizing accessibility for individuals and families navigating divorce and related legal matters throughout New York City.

The new Lower East Side location places the firm closer to many of the clients it serves, reflecting Richard Shum’s roots as a lifelong New Yorker and resident of the neighborhood. As a Manhattan divorce attorney, Richard Shum has helped families address child support, spousal support, property division, and child custody concerns during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. “Being based here in the community I have always called home allows the firm to remain accessible to the people who need guidance most,” Shum says.

The relocation does not change the firm’s core focus or its approach to representation. Manhattan divorce attorney Richard Shum continues to emphasize comprehensive strategic planning tailored to each client rather than a one-size-fits-all method. “Every divorce is unique, and the goal is to develop a personalized strategy that reflects each client’s specific situation and priorities,” Shum explains.

At the new office, the firm handles both uncontested and contested divorce matters. Shum notes that divorce cases can be emotionally and financially exhausting, particularly when they become contentious. “The aim is to guide clients through the process as painlessly as possible, reducing both the emotional and financial strain,” he adds.

Attorney Shum works to resolve issues through careful negotiation whenever possible, while remaining prepared to pursue litigation and take a case to trial when necessary to protect a client’s rights. His practice covers complex financial matters, including business valuations, alimony, asset protection, and property distribution. Shum is admitted to practice in New York state courts as well as the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.

The firm also assists clients in understanding the grounds for divorce under New York law. Shum points out that New York recognizes no-fault divorce, known as “Irretrievable Breakdown,” which applies when both parties agree the marriage has irretrievably broken down over a period of at least six months. A no-fault divorce is granted only after key issues such as property distribution, spousal support, child support, custody, and debts are resolved by the couple or determined by the court.

Additional grounds under New York law include cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment for a period of at least one year, imprisonment of a spouse for three or more consecutive years, adultery supported by third-party evidence, and a judgment of separation following a separation agreement of more than one year. Shum observes that understanding these grounds early can help clients make informed decisions about how to proceed. “Clarifying the available grounds and options at the outset helps clients approach the process with confidence,” he says.

From its new home at 20 Clinton St. FRNT, the Law Office of Richard Roman Shum, Esq. continues to serve individuals and families throughout Manhattan and the greater New York City area. Shum, a graduate of Suffolk University School of Law, Emerson College, and Washington University in St. Louis, is a member of the New York County Bar Association, the New York City Bar Association, the Copyright Society of the USA, and the American Bar Association.

For those facing divorce or legal separation in New York City, contacting an experienced family and divorce attorney may help clarify their rights and options and work toward a favorable resolution. The firm encourages individuals to reach out to schedule a consultation at the new location.
