Protecting families in New Jersey since 1995, our divorce lawyers will take the time to listen to your concerns for your family and your future at this critical time. Whether you are going through a divorce or dealing with issues of domestic violence, we will be here for you.

  • Divorce: There are a large number of factors to consider in a divorce. We will make sure you stay focused on the big picture and will advocate for your interests, whether negotiating a property settlement agreement or establishing a fair child custody arrangement.
  • Division of Property : The law begins with the presumption that property should be split evenly in divorce, but it is possible to negotiate a flexible, creative solution to meet your needs.
  • Alimony: Spousal support is awarded to assist the lesser wage earner with a lifestyle substantially similar to the one maintained during the course of the marriage.
  • Child Custody and Child Support: Even though your marriage may be ending, you will be parents forever. Coming up with the right child custody plan is the first step toward moving forward. We will help you establish an arrangement that meets your needs and is in the best interests of your children.
  • Post-Judgment Modifications: If there has been a significant change in your financial situation or that of your former spouse, you may be eligible for support modifications. Additionally, we handle post-judgment modifications of child custody or visitation when a significant change warrants modification of the existing order.
  • Enforcements: Does your former spouse owe you support payments? There are ways to take action legally through enforcement proceedings.
  • Domestic Violence: Incidents of domestic violence tear families apart every day. We can help you protect your family and get the help you need.
  • Prenuptial Agreements: A prenuptial agreement can be an important tool to make sure your individual rights are protected in marriage.
