A Nassau County divorce lawyer has to know how the Mineola matrimonial court actually operates — and we appear there regularly. Picarello & Saciolo, PLLC represents clients throughout Nassau County in contested and uncontested divorce, custody, child support, spousal maintenance, and appellate work, from our Islandia office a short drive east.
Nassau practice has its own texture. The Mineola matrimonial center and the Family Court in Westbury each run differently from their Suffolk counterparts, and local judges and support magistrates have their own expectations. We know those courtrooms and prepare cases the way Nassau judges want to see them — which makes both negotiation and litigation more effective.

The Nassau County courts
Divorces are filed in Supreme Court; Nassau matrimonial cases are handled at the Matrimonial Center, 400 County Seat Drive, Mineola. Family Court matters for unmarried parents — custody, visitation, support, and orders of protection — are heard at the Nassau County Family Court, 1200 Old Country Road, Westbury. Our Islandia office is a straightforward drive from both, and we appear in Nassau regularly.
Divorce and Family Law Across Nassau County
Nassau County covers the towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, and we represent clients throughout — Mineola, Garden City, Hicksville, Levittown, Long Beach, and the surrounding communities. No matter where in the county you live, your divorce runs through the Mineola matrimonial court, and we make the trip a non-issue by handling much of the process by phone and video.
Nassau households often bring higher-value marital estates into a divorce, which is why business valuation, executive compensation, retirement and pension division, and above-cap spousal maintenance come up so frequently here. We work with forensic accountants and appraisers when the numbers are disputed, and we prepare every contested case with the appeal in mind — a genuine advantage in discretionary, high-asset matters.
If you are facing a divorce anywhere in Nassau County, start with a free, confidential consultation. We will walk you through how your case is likely to proceed in the Mineola court, what it will cost, and the realistic range of outcomes — clearly and without pressure.
