New Jersey High-Profile Divorce Attorneys
Politicians, athletes, actors, and business professionals have unique divorce challenges. The specifics of a high-profile person’s divorce may attract excessive media attention. Gossip magazines and websites may sensationalize a story by exaggerating a small fact. Your professional existence may suffer if personal information about you is made public.
There are a few ways to hide the specifics of a divorce case from the public eye, which is fortunate for high-profile individuals who want to get a divorce in New Jersey. Almost all aspects of the divorce can be kept private with an experienced divorce attorney on your side, except for the divorce decision.
Tanya L. Freeman, Attorney at Law, our New Jersey high-profile divorce attorneys can handle divorces involving high-profile individuals in New Jersey. Our team has worked on complicated property division issues involving high-net-worth and high-profile people, and will put as much effort as possible into handling your case strategically and discretely.
What You Need to Know About High-Profile Divorce in New Jersey
High-profile divorce cases in New Jersey are handled similarly to ordinary divorce matters. However, in high-profile situations, several legal factors might be relevant. These might involve child custody, property division, and spousal support concerns.
Child Custody
Child custody can be a big problem when prominent couples get divorced. When deciding on custody arrangements in New Jersey, the court will consider the child’s best interests. The child’s bond with each parent, the child’s needs, and each parent’s capacity to care for the child may all be taken into account by the court.
Division of Property
In New Jersey, the equitable distribution concept determines how to divide marital assets. It indicates that the parties distribute the property equitably, though only sometimes equally. When deciding how to divide the property, the court will consider various aspects, including the length of the marriage, age, health, and their respective incomes and earning potential.
Spousal Support
Spousal support, often known as alimony, may be granted in high-profile divorce cases. When establishing spousal support payments, the court will consider factors like the length of the marriage, each party’s capacity to support themselves, and the level of life established throughout the marriage.

High-Profile Divorce Procedures in New Jersey
The processes for high-profile divorce proceedings in New Jersey are the same as those for regular divorce cases. But in high-profile cases, there can be extra factors to consider and steps to take.
Discovery
Finding out information from the opposing side during a divorce lawsuit is known as discovery. Discovery may entail a more thorough probe of the parties’ assets and financial position in high-profile divorce proceedings. Forensic accountants and other financial specialists might be used in this.
Confidentiality Agreements
Confidentiality agreements may be used in high-profile divorce proceedings to shield the parties’ personal information. These contracts may forbid the parties from discussing the divorce with the public or other parties.
Temporary Orders
Temporary orders are issued in high-profile divorce cases to support the parties while the divorce is ongoing. These decrees may include spousal support, child support, and custody decisions.
Mediation
The parties negotiate the terms of the divorce during the mediation procedure with the assistance of an impartial third party. Mediation may be utilized in high-profile divorce cases to assist the parties in deciding on topics like child custody, property distribution, and spousal maintenance.
Maintaining Privacy in a High-Profile Divorce
Divorce is a complex legal process that may get considerably more complex when prominent people are involved. Tanya L. Freeman and her team of legal professionals recognize the immense significance of maintaining our clients’ confidentiality, especially in high-profile divorce cases involving public figures and celebrities. We comprehend the sensitivity of such proceedings and provide a range of divorce methods that can assist you in achieving your goal of keeping the details private.
One of the options we offer is to negotiate with assistance from an attorney or participate in an alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This approach will help us work towards resolving all issues without the need for a public court proceeding. It ensures a mutually agreeable and pleasing resolution can be reached by all parties involved. Our highly skilled and experienced attorneys facilitate this process, ensuring that all aspects are addressed thoroughly and adequately.
If you and your spouse reach a settlement, a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) will be drafted, detailing all agreements reached. This legal document encompasses matters such as child custody and support, property distribution, and other financial arrangements that are agreed upon. Typically, one party’s lawyer will draft the MSA while the other reviews it before both parties sign and file it in court.
Our firm prioritizes discretion and confidentiality in all our cases, especially high-profile divorce cases. We understand how crucial privacy is in situations like this and guarantee to safeguard your privacy throughout the divorce proceedings.
If both parties agree on the terms of your divorce, you can proceed with an uncontested divorce. This means that you will not need to go through the more complicated and time-consuming process of a contested divorce, in which a judge must hear arguments from both sides and make a ruling. However, even with an uncontested divorce, you may still need to make a short appearance in court to finalize the necessary paperwork and ensure that everything is in order. Ultimately, the goal of an uncontested divorce is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for both parties involved.
Other Options to Maintain Privacy in a High-Profile Divorce
If your partner is unwilling to consider less confrontational approaches, there are still other strategies that can be utilized to protect your privacy during a divorce.
Post-nuptial Agreements
In the unfortunate event of a divorce, it can be beneficial to consider a post-nuptial agreement as a means of safeguarding your privacy and preventing your spouse from sharing personal information on social media. Such an agreement can establish specific expectations and consequences for violations that can help to ensure confidentiality on platforms like Facebook and Twitter. However, it is important to note that for such an agreement to be valid in New Jersey, both parties must fully disclose all relevant information, have independent legal representation, and agree to terms that are fair and equitable without any coercion or duress. By taking these steps, you can help to protect your privacy and ensure a fair and just outcome in your divorce proceedings.
Sealing Court Records
While appearing in court may be unavoidable in your situation, it is understandable that you may want to keep certain aspects of the proceedings private. However, court records are generally open to the public unless there are privacy concerns that outweigh the public’s interest in open records. In such cases, requesting the judge to seal your financial documents is possible, but this may not be an easy task. The request must address privacy concerns to successfully seal certain divorce documents.
At our law firm, we understand the importance of maintaining privacy in divorce proceedings. Our skilled New Jersey Divorce lawyer is experienced in handling these sensitive matters and can assist you in keeping your divorce proceedings confidential, regardless of your life experiences. We understand that each case is unique, and if you have concerns about achieving privacy based on your specific situation, please get in touch with us for a confidential consultation. We are committed to helping you navigate this difficult time while providing the legal support you need.
