The Choi Law Firm’s Family Law Attorneys in Bergenfield, NJ Handle Contested and Uncontested Divorces
Uncontested divorces are those in which both parties amicably resolve all of their outstanding issues and agree to terms before getting divorced. However, in many cases, the parties involved are unable – or, perhaps, unwilling – to settle with their spouse. In these contested divorces, the case will go to a judge to determine a fair middle ground for both parties.
Divorces involve many moving parts, and even once a divorce is complete, you may still have some sort of relationship with your ex. Prenuptial agreements may come into play, there may be alimony or child support payments one party has to make to the other, and there may be issues with equitably dividing the estate of the couple.
Some of the areas our Bergenfield divorce lawyers can help in contested divorce cases are as follows.
- Child custody and parenting time: How much each parent makes, where they live, and the wishes of the child or children may be used to determine who has primary custody or even legal custody of the children of a divorcing couple. Relocation considerations, the earning capacity of each parent, and any extenuating circumstances – such as abuse, abandonment, habitual intoxication, or adultery, for example – can also impact who gets the children in a divorce.
- Child support: The needs of your children will change over time, and so may your financial standing. We will help you negotiate a fair child support arrangement with your spouse, covering future needs such as college expenses, healthcare payments, travel expenses, and more.
- Asset distribution: Not all New Jersey divorces end up with a 50-50 split in the property and assets of the couple between each party. New Jersey’s equitable distribution criteria (NJ Rev Stat § 2A:34-23.1 (2013)) outlines how a couple’s assets are to be distributed in a divorce. There are more than a dozen criteria included in this statute, from the economic standing and earning potential of both parties to how much they may have contributed to the career or education of the other and the potential tax implications of different property splits on each party.
Decisions regarding the above can all impact you for years to come, so speak with our family law attorneys in Bergenfield, NJ today to learn more about what you should do and what your legal options are before moving forward with any divorce-related actions.
