At Bozanian McGregor LLC, we provide a variety of family law services to clients in Morris County, New Jersey. Regardless of your family law issue, our talented Morris County family law attorneys have the knowledge and experience needed to obtain a satisfactory result in your family law matter.
Divorce
If you and your spouse have experienced irreconcilable differences for at least six months and one of you has lived in New Jersey for 12 consecutive months, then you can file for a no-fault divorce. However, divorce presents a number of significant challenges. Fortunately, if you are considering a divorce in Morris County, the experienced attorneys of Bozanian McGregor LLC have over 50 years of combined family law experience, which we will put to use to guide you through the divorce process.
Child Support
Following a divorce in Morris County, one of the primary concerns of parents is how to provide for their children moving forward. Child support laws in Morris County, New Jersey, are intended to ensure that marital children receive adequate financial support following a divorce. At our distinguished law firm, we will work diligently to ensure that your children are adequately provided for following your divorce.
Child Custody and Parenting Time
In most cases, children benefit from maintaining relationships with both of their parents following a divorce. Recognizing this fact, courts in New Jersey tend to favor joint custody. However, there are situations in which joint custody isn’t possible due to the location of the parents or the nature of their work schedules.
In such cases, our experienced divorce attorneys will work diligently to negotiate a fair and equitable sole custody arrangement. And if you are a parent without custody of your children, we will work to ensure that you obtain generous parenting time to maintain a close relationship with your children.
Property Division
Courts in New Jersey adhere to a property division system called equitable distribution. Under this system, marital property is not necessarily divided equally. Rather, it is divided in a manner that is deemed fair by the court. Examples of marital property include furnishings, real estate, pensions or retirement accounts, bank accounts, vehicles, investments, jewelry, art, antiques, and collectables. In addition, marital debts are also shared during a divorce.
Spousal Alimony (Maintenance)
Alimony, which is also known as maintenance, is sometimes a factor in divorce. Spousal maintenance may be a factor in divorce if:
- One spouse earns significantly more money than the other
- One spouse is disabled or otherwise unable to earn an income
- During marriage, one spouse was the primary provider of childcare and the primary homemaker
- One spouse worked to support the other’s career or educational advancement
In addition, temporary spousal support is sometimes awarded by the court to allow a spouse to complete training or schooling to become more independent or employable. However, divorcing spouses sometimes attempt to abuse the spousal support system. For example, a self-sufficient spouse will sometimes demand spousal support in an attempt to punish his or her ex. If you are in a situation in which your spouse is attempting to abuse the alimony system, we will advocate vigorously on your behalf to arrive at a fair outcome.
