Representing Clients Throughout NJ

Some of the most difficult legal problems to manage arise within the context of your family. Fortunately, a New Jersey family lawyer with a wide range of experience and knowledge in family law could give you the legal advice you need for any issues you may have involving marriage, children, and other family matters.

Taking a case to family court is never something that people should take lightly. The outcome of a family law case, whether it be a divorce, a child custody hearing, or even a request to modify an existing order, might have a profound impact on an individual’s future. It is essential that people understand the consequences of these cases and act quickly to protect their rights.

Dissolution of Marriage

In the past, a spouse had to prove specific grounds such as adultery, physical abuse, abandonment, or mental cruelty to formally end a marriage. Today, however, most states—including New Jersey—allow for no-fault divorce based on “irreconcilable differences.”

According to New Jersey Revised Statute §2A:34-2, other events that may give rise to a divorce include:

  • Adultery
  • Extreme cruelty
  • Separation
  • Drug addiction
  • Institutionalization for mental illness
  • Imprisonment
  • Deviant sexual conduct

A New Jersey family attorney could help identify the cause for divorce that best fits an individual’s unique circumstances.

Separation Process

When one party files a complaint for divorce, it initiates a legal process. Divorces must address several concepts, including each party’s rights to marital property, their responsibility concerning marital debt, who will care for and raise their children, and whether either party is eligible to receive alimony.

One way to address these questions is to create a separation agreement. Courts recommend that parties attempt to find common ground concerning their disagreements, and family law judges will happily incorporate a separation agreement into a final divorce decree. However, some divorces inevitably result in conflict. When this occurs, a New Jersey attorney could argue for an individual’s rights in family court and promote their best interests.

Even after a judgment of divorce is final, new problems frequently arise. Post-judgment actions can include requests for modifications, which are actions seeking to change something about the divorce judgment, and actions for contempt, which seek to have the other party punished for failing to comply with the judgment. For help resolving these issues, contact a New Jersey family legal team.
