Divorce and Separation in New Jersey

There are many different options for couples considering divorce and for parties dealing with family law issues. Choosing an option that best fits your unique situation can be difficult to determine in the absence of professional legal counsel. Our comprehensive knowledge of New Jersey divorce and family law, coupled with our understanding and concern for your priorities and goals, allow us to help clients make the choices that best suit their unique situation.

Alimony

Under New Jersey law, the financially dependent party in a divorce may be entitled to alimony. Determining the appropriate amount (if any) and duration of alimony depends on a number of factors that are contingent on the unique facts of each individual case. Having an experienced matrimonial lawyer represent you with regard to the issue of alimony is imperative to protecting your rights and ensuring that an alimony determination is appropriate under the unique circumstances of the case at hand.

Equitable Distribution

Determining how to divide assets in a divorce can be one of the most nuanced and complex parts of the divorce process. Sometimes a couple will choose to work together and come to an agreement about how to fairly divide shared assets without court involvement. When such an agreement cannot be reached, the matter must be litigated in court, and a skilled divorce attorney on your side is essential to help you protect your interests.

Child Support

Determining appropriate child support can be a complex topic in which the unique details of a particular case form the basis for the determined amount. The Family Law Offices of Megan S. Murray maintains an in-depth knowledge of the multi-faceted issues on which child support is determined. Contact The Family Law Offices of Megan S. Murray to schedule a consultation regarding child support and the specifics of your divorce.

Child Custody

Child custody can be a life-changing decision for everyone involved, as parents must contemplate a life in which they may not see their child on a daily basis. When parents cannot agree upon custody, the court will adjudicate the issue. The Family Law Offices of Megan S. Murray provides experienced, dedicated legal representation to protect your parental rights and the best interests of your child.

Commonly Asked Questions

How is child support calculated in New Jersey?

Child support calculations in New Jersey are based on the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines, which take into account the income of both parents, the number of children, and the needs of the child. Additional factors such as healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and educational needs may also be considered. The guidelines provide a formula to help determine the appropriate amount of support, but each case is unique. Consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity on how these guidelines apply to your specific situation and help ensure that the best interests of your child are prioritized.

What factors influence alimony decisions in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, the determination of alimony is influenced by several factors, including the length of the marriage, the financial needs of the dependent spouse, the ability of the other spouse to pay, and the standard of living established during the marriage. Other considerations may include the age and health of both parties, the earning capacity of each spouse, and any contributions made to the marriage, such as homemaking or supporting the other spouse's career. Understanding these factors is crucial, and having knowledgeable legal representation can help ensure that your rights are protected during this process.

What should I do if my spouse and I cannot agree on child custody?

If you and your spouse are unable to reach an agreement on child custody, the matter will need to be resolved in court. In New Jersey, the court will consider various factors to determine custody arrangements, including the child's best interests, the parents' living situations, and the child's relationship with each parent. It is essential to have legal representation during this process to advocate for your parental rights and to present your case effectively. A knowledgeable attorney can help navigate the complexities of custody disputes and work towards a resolution that serves the child's needs.
