Divorce & Family Law
New Jersey Divorce and Family Law LawyersFamily law issues engender more emotional trauma than any other legal specialty. In most cases more than just money is at stake. Dissolution of a family creates personal stress to all family members as well as financial stress, as no family which is now separated (or about to be separated) can function in as financially solvent a manner as when the entire family was living together. It is important that matrimonial issues be resolved promptly and expeditiously so as not to deplete the assets of the parties in needless legal endeavors which only prolong the emotional trauma of the parties and cause their legal costs to escalate.

The law that the judges apply is available to all attorney to review but how a particular judge may apply that law on certain discretionary issues such as the nature and extent of equitable distribution, alimony, parenting time, etc. is only ascertainable by having an experienced attorney who has practiced before these judges.

In a divorce situation, some parties may think they can work out the details without a divorce lawyer. There are, however, numerous issues that clients face, including:
