When it comes to divorce, no one process is for everyone. Depending on your unique situation, you can choose a method that gives you your best chance for a great outcome. And now, with our experienced and dedicated Collaborative attorney, we offer you a new option: Collaborative Divorce.
The New Jersey Family Law Act now recognizes Collaborative Practice.
The New Jersey Family Law Act now recognizes Collaborative Practice, giving you a new divorce method with strategies to dissolve your marriage together in a collaborative way. Collaboratively trained attorneys and their clients can meet with collaboratively trained mental health/child specialists and financial neutrals in a process that has been proven to reduce conflict, preserve families, and promote lasting marital settlement agreements.
Family Law is a full-service family law practice in Westfield, New Jersey that serves clients from Union County, Essex County, Hudson County, Morris County, Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, and Warren County.
One of the best things about collaborative practice is that it is a private process, done far away from the courts, that can still result in a complete and legal Settlement Agreement.
You and your spouse will set the agenda and the pace of the process. You will have access to mental health and child support services that will help keep emotions at a minimum to address your child support and child custody issues and concerns. Your financial neutral will help you develop budgets and address the multitude of complex financial issues that can emerge during a divorce.
During the collaborative divorce process, you and your spouse will have your own separate attorneys, while the mental health and financial neutrals will serve both individuals. Best of all, with your settlement agreement already completed, any court time will be minimal! It’s usually only a 15-minute hearing to finalize your uncontested divorce.
