Family Matters Our Morris County Family Law Attorney Resolves

I help people in Morris County resolve almost every type of family dispute. The types of legal matters I handle regularly include:

Divorce

If living with your spouse is not possible and you're considering divorce, there are two ways to obtain it:

Contested Divorce

A contested divorce is for couples who cannot agree on critical issues such as:

• Child support
• Alimony
• Property division

Uncontested Divorce

If you and your spouse can agree on key issues, uncontested divorce might be a better option for you. It’s faster and more cost-effective.

I am a Morris County family law attorney who can help you find the best option available in your case.

Spousal Support Disputes

Spouses can disagree on whether one should support the other after their marriage. Morris County courts consider several factors when determining alimony, such as:

• Each spouse’s earning potential
• The standard of living during the marriage
• The duration of the marriage

I help spouses build compelling cases to support fair arrangements. Whether you’re seeking spousal support or challenging a proposed amount, I can help.

Division of Marital Assets Disputes

The most contentious parts of a divorce can be the dividing of marital assets, such as:

• The family home and any other real estate
• Bank accounts
• Investments

Property distribution in New Jersey follows the principle of equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly, though not necessarily equally.

I can help you divide marital property in a way that reflects your future needs and ensures you have the financial security you deserve after your divorce.

Child Support Disputes

Every child deserves the resources they need to live a good life. Morris County courts calculate child support based on:

• The child’s needs
• Each parent’s income
• Custody arrangements

I work for a resolution that reflects the best interests of your child, addressing their current and future needs.

Child Custody Disputes

Morris County courts categorize child custody arrangements into two parts:

1. Legal custody: Legal custody gives you the power to make important decisions about your child's life, like where they go to school.
2. Physical custody: Physical custody decides where your child will live.

I can protect your parental rights and create a custody arrangement that’s in your child’s best interests.
