How Our Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Divorce Attorneys Keep You from Making Common Divorce Mistakes
Divorce is one of the most significant life transitions that you will ever experience, and the way your marriage ends will impact your life for years to come. Any missteps can lead to serious regrets, missing out on financial opportunities, missing big parts of your kids’ lives, and ruining relationships. That’s why it’s so critical to work with the right law firm who can keep your divorce on the right track. Here are some ways that our firm helps you avoid those missteps:
- We offer a free initial consultation to help you understand your rights and the divorce process in New Jersey.
One common mistake people make is rushing into the divorce process without fully assessing their situation. We explain all of your options and allow you to get to know us to see if we are the right fit to represent you in a free, no-obligation consultation!
- We don’t let emotions run the show; we provide clarity so you can make informed, rational decisions.
It’s no secret that divorce is a highly emotional process, particularly if the reasons the marriage is ending aren’t good, or if you have children. You may be feeling angry, hurt, betrayed, devastated, scared, lonely, bitter, or all of the above. Our legal support and guidance means you don’t have to worry that emotion will cloud your judgement or get the best of you.
- We focus on the finances.
Many people are focused on the short-term impact of divorce, so they don’t do their homework when it comes to their financial circumstances and they accept an unfair settlement that hurts their financial stability in the long-term. Our experienced Parsippany-Troy Hills Township divorce attorneys diligently keep your long-term financial stability at the forefront to protect your rights and work for fairness.
- We help you consider alternative dispute resolution.
In the short AND long-term, litigation (going to court) is costly, and it’s also emotionally draining. We provide mediation and collaborative divorce services, which can save you time, money, and stress!
Understanding Divorce in New Jersey
Grounds for Filing
The state of New Jersey is a no-fault divorce state. This means that neither you or your spouse has to prove guilt or misconduct by the other in order to get divorced. All you need to cite is “irreconcilable differences”, which is defined as a breakdown in the marriage that cannot be remedied. This is the most common ground for divorce in New Jersey.
However, if your divorce was due to adultery, desertion, or extreme cruelty, it may be in your best interests to file on those grounds. Our compassionate and knowledgeable Parsippany-Troy Hills Township divorce attorneys can explain your options and advise you as to what will be most advantageous for your goals!
Paths to Resolution
There are two divorce options in New Jersey – uncontested divorce, and contested divorce.
In a contested divorce, both you and your spouse are not able to agree on the terms of your divorce, so some or all of the major issues within your divorce (alimony, child custody, child support, the division of marital assets) must be determined by a judge. You and your spouse (and your attorneys) will go to court to make arguments and contend for the outcome you want.
If you want to have an uncontested divorce, which means you do not have to go to court, both you and your spouse need to agree on all outstanding issues within your divorce.
In either situation, you may at any time decide that you need to work out your differences outside of court with the help of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Mediation, one form of alternative dispute resolution, is where you and your spouse meet with a neutral third-party in a collaborative environment to work through these issues and come up with a win-win solution. It is confidential, much less expensive and contentious than going to court, and also much more cost-effective.
Negotiation, another way to resolve your divorce outside of court, involves all parties (you, your spouse, and your attorneys) and helps you form a compromise so you can finalize the divorce without submitting to a judge’s decision.
Collaborative divorce involves aspects of both mediation and negotiation; you and your spouse would form a team with trained divorce attorneys, financial advisors, and child custody specialists (if applicable) to reach a mutually agreeable solution.
If you cannot reach agreements through one of these methods, arbitration may be the answer – it is like a trial, but with simplified rules and procedures. The arbitrator is a party agreed upon by both sides, and they are responsible for making a final decision. Arbitration is quicker and less costly than litigation, but does not offer you the same level of control that mediation, negotiation, and collaborative divorce do.
Every divorce is unique, and our lawyers will help you weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each path to divorce resolution as it pertains to your specific case.
