Child Support & Child Custody

Determining child support and child custody in New Jersey is a complicated process for a family going through a divorce or separation. With a caring and considerate approach, we will work with you to ensure that the best interests of the child(ren) are at the forefront of the priorities of all parties, and will fight with fortitude to ensure that your rights are protected to the utmost extent.

Alimony & Spousal Support

In New Jersey, alimony or spousal support is arranged for in some separation agreements or after a divorce in court with the help of an attorney. Our attorneys will be there to help guide you through the complexities of your unique situation and stand strong to achieve the best possible outcome.

Divorce Mediation & Arbitration

In mediation, we guide parties in formulating their own agreement. If parties can’t reach their own agreement, an arbitrator can hear testimony in an informal and private setting and render a final and binding agreement.

Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are very personal decisions for every couple that require careful consideration and strong communication. And while it is difficult to consider the possibility of a marriage ending before it has begun, a prenuptial agreement can ultimately help to provide peace of mind and strengthen your relationship.

Grandparents’ Rights

Spouses and children are not the only individuals affected by divorce proceedings. Many grandparents and siblings also face unique questions and challenges throughout the process. Our attorneys are here to help secure opportunities for visitation rights.

Guardianships

When a loved one is unable to care for themselves, whether due to age, disability, or incapacity, establishing a legal guardianship can provide the protection and stability they need. We help clients in petitioning for guardianship, ensuring that the best interests of the individual are upheld while advocating for your role as a responsible and caring guardian.

Juvenile Law

From our offices in Sussex County, neighboring Warren County, and Morris County, one of our skilled New Jersey family law attorneys can help protect your child’s rights in juvenile courts and civil lawsuits, offering experienced legal guidance and support to provide them with the best chance for a successful and stable future.

Adoption

Adoption is a deeply personal journey filled with joy, complexity, and life-changing decisions. Whether you’re a stepparent looking to adopt, a couple expanding your family, or a relative stepping in to provide stability, we can guide you through each step. With compassion and attention to detail, our skilled Sussex County family lawyers will work to ensure that the process is smooth, efficient, and tailored to your unique family dynamic.

Name Changes

Whether it’s part of a divorce, adoption, gender transition, or a personal decision, legally changing your name is a significant step. Our dedicated New Jersey family law attorneys will walk you through the required documentation, court filings, and hearings, making sure your transition is handled with respect and efficiency.

Post-Divorce Modifications

Life changes, and sometimes court orders must change with it. If you are facing a substantial change in circumstances—such as a new job, relocation, or changes in your child’s needs—we can help you seek modifications to custody, support, or alimony agreements. Our attorneys are skilled at negotiating and litigating post-divorce issues to help you move forward with confidence.

Family Law Appeals

Not every court decision gets it right the first time. If you believe a legal error affected the outcome of your family law matter, our attorneys can evaluate your case for a potential appeal. With a sharp eye for detail and deep knowledge of appellate procedure, we will fight to ensure your voice is heard and justice is served. Turn to our family lawyers for help.
