Marcos Fernandez represents New York professionals who need a strategic, structured divorce process—one that protects their financial interests, respects their family relationships, and avoids the cost and disruption of litigation.
As Managing Attorney of Vacca Family Law Group and President-elect of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals, Marcos is committed to a non-adversarial approach to divorce and prenuptial agreements. Marcos spent nearly a decade in commercial litigation and traditional matrimonial law before committing exclusively to out-of-court practice. That background gives him a precise understanding of what's at stake in a divorce, why litigation is often a terrible choice for families and what becomes possible when the process is designed around resolution rather than conflict.

and more.
Marcos's clients are business owners, executives, and high-achieving professionals who approach their divorce the way they approach every complex problem: with clear goals, an eye toward the long term, and no interest in unnecessary conflict. They choose Marcos when the financial picture is layered, the stakes are high, and they want a process built around their priorities and goals.
His work centers on building structure where there is none—organizing complex financial situations, navigating competing priorities, and guiding clients toward durable agreements that reflect their actual lives. He brings both strategic depth and steady judgment to every case, helping clients move forward with clarity and control.
