FAQs
How do courts decide custody in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, the courts decide custody based not on which parent has been the better parent in the past, but rather on the needs of the child, the fitness of the parents, and their ability to provide a stable home.
Can I change the terms of my divorce settlement?
Yes, you may seek modification through a petition to the court if your life undergoes a significant change, such as a move, job loss, or health issues.
What is the difference between contested divorce and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses have reached an agreement on all major issues related to their separation; contested divorces, on the other hand, require negotiation or litigation to resolve the issues.
How can one take advantage of a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement offers protection over personal property, stipulates the financial obligations of each party, and minimizes the areas in which a dispute may arise in the event of divorce.
How long will it take to resolve my case?
The timeframe will vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved and the level of cooperation between parties, with whom we work hard to address issues as quickly as possible.
