Dedicated, Comprehensive Family Law Practice in New Jersey
The ending of a marriage is understandably a very stressful and emotional time for many. Often, one’s desire is simply to get the process over with as soon as possible and begin the process of starting a new life. It’s important to realize, however, that the court orders made in a final judgment of divorce do more than just dissolve a marriage; they affect property rights and custodial rights that greatly impact the lives of the divorcing couple and their children immediately and for years into the future.
Services Tailored to Your Needs
Divorce – We represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorces. When the divorce is contested, we provide persuasive negotiation and strong, effective advocacy in matters involving property and debt division, alimony and child custody and support. Our Bergen County family law attorneys have particular expertise representing parties in high-net worth divorces and in dealing with post-divorce issues such as modifications or enforcement of custody, support and other domestic relations orders.
Prenuptial Agreements – No one enters a marriage thinking it will end badly, but we all know that divorce is prevalent in today’s society. Openly discussing the couple’s expectations for property distribution, alimony and other issues in the event of divorce or death can be a healthy way to start a marriage, with security and peace of mind, especially when there is a disparity of wealth between the couple or if one or both spouses had a previous difficult divorce that left them wary about trying marriage again. We negotiate fair, sensible premarital agreements based on full disclosures that meet the present and future needs of our clients.
Adoptions – Helping families grow through adoption is one of the most satisfying experiences we have as family law attorneys. We help couples through the often-complicated process of agency adoptions, private adoptions, international adoptions and stepparent adoptions, as well as adoptions by grandparents or other family members in the best interests of the children.
Domestic Violence – Domestic violence is a very real and tragic occurrence in New Jersey and elsewhere, and we take a strong stand in helping victims find safety and put an immediate and lasting stop to abuse. At the same time, we know that these issues can be complicated and sometimes involve misunderstandings, overreactions and even false accusations. Our practice includes the representation of those accused of domestic violence in certain situations as well representations of abuse victims.
LGBTQ+ – All of the above family law matters apply to gay couples as well, and often their resolution is more complicated due to novel questions of law, biases, or working with judges, juries and other lawyers unfamiliar the application of family law to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBTQ+) peoples. Our comprehensive and inclusive New Jersey family law practice embraces LGBTQ+ clients, to whom we provide sound legal advice and professional representation with familiarity and experience in the field.
