WHY MEN’S RIGHTS?

Divorce, and other family law related conflicts, have a large effect, not only to the persons in conflict, but on their families and others too. Of course, where there are children, the effect on them in particular can be world-shaking, and very long-lasting. As a child of divorce myself, I have experienced this first hand. I recently (and inadvertently) discovered my parents’ divorce file. At the time they began the divorce process, I was just a small child (and only child) of 7 years old. Being the person who was the subject of their divorce issues, and now as an adult reading those documents, I was profoundly moved at how the system, the perceptions, and the stereotypes significantly affected the ultimate outcome between my parents, and frankly, my life. A short couple of years after my parent’s divorce, my father and I became estranged. As that young child, I did not understand why. I grew up not ever understanding or having any closure. This made me feel disregarded and unloved for many years by a parent that was supposed to be there for me and, by all society norms, love me unconditionally. It also became apparent to me that although our laws may have significantly advanced from back in those days to now where divorcing spouses are on more equal footing, the perception and sense of entitlements have not. In simplistic terms, I felt saddened that one person seemed to have more perceived leverage over the other. I decided in that moment that I wanted to build a business specifically addressing this issue. This firm believes that every party to a family law matter deserves a chance at fairness regardless of gender. Because of my experience, for me that means focusing on Men and Fathers.

We want to help Men and Fathers get through their legal matter with confidence, be a guide through the complicated legal system, and present a course of action in your best interest, and most importantly, that of your children. We want to help protect what matters to you most. What we are not? We are not a woman hating law firm. We are, in fact, a woman owned law firm! We are not interested in advancing any legal position that would hurt you, your children, or your spouse. We are not in the game of revenge against your spouse or your children. We are not just focused on short term solutions, but rather structuring strategies around long-term goals for all involved. We will zealously advocate for your best interests while always maintaining a high level of professionalism that we are already known for. We know that if you are reading this, you or someone you know is experiencing turmoil in their relationship. We understand how unsettling that can be and how the fear of the unknown may be paralyzing. In this website, you will find some great educational information. We also invite you to contact our office or call (201) 880-9770 to schedule an initial goals and options planning session. We take seriously that our clients entrust us with their future. Our firm philosophy is to provide our clients with the utmost care, guidance, communication, transparency, and truthful legal advice.
