Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law: Read All Here

How can I file an uncontested divorce?

Answer:
An uncontested divorce can be filed if there are no issues being contested by either party. This means that all issues, e.g. the house, financial assets and liabilities, custody of the children including visitation rights, future payments for alimony and child support, and everything else has been resolved satisfactorily between the spouses. How you reach settlement will depend on the couple. You can come to an agreement together, at the “kitchen table”, through mediation or through the use of collaborative attorneys. If you use the “Kitchen table” method or mediation, you should strongly consider having the agreement reviewed and possibly prepared by an attorney. It will be a court order if made a part of your divorce. Make sure the agreement is complete and you understand its legal consequences.

Should I seek help asking for changes to my divorce agreement?

Answer:
If you are looking to make a changes to your divorce agreement or decree, you will need to petition the court or reach an resolution with your ex-spouse. If you were involved in litigation before you may not want to return to a court setting. You may consider using a mediator or collaborative attorneys. In either case it is critical to find a qualified attorney to assist you and help you select the right process and secure a fair settlement.

Are there advantages to legal separation?

Answer:
A legal separation is normally done in cases where the spouses want to physically separate, but have other reasons why they want or need to stay married. A couple may choose legal separation instead of divorce because of religion (if their religion does not recognize divorce),or financial reasons such as tax advantages, Social Security entitlement or the need for insurance or lower cost of insurance, etc. In New Jersey, a legal separation is by court order or by contract of the parties. Living apart does not necessarily constitute a legal separation even if it lasts for years. There are some serious ramifications that need to be considered and are best addressed by a formal written agreement.

After a divorce is finalized, can child custody or support agreements be altered?

Answer:
It is the unusual case where one or both of these provisions is never revisited. Children grow and needs change. Parents change jobs, lose jobs or unfortunately become disabled. The circumstances that come to be require parties to address the consequences. It is a wise parent who realizes that these discussions are inevitable. Finding the right way to address these changes is challenging. Seek the attorney who can counsel you and offer reasonable options and alternatives. If all fails, litigation is available for a judge to make the final decision.
