CONTESTED AND UNCONTESTED DIVORCE
There are two general types of divorce: contested and uncontested. Your divorce is contested if you cannot agree on all the issues of divorce. Even if you cannot come to agreement on just one issue, your divorce is contested. That means that we have to negotiate and try to find a compromise on those contested issues and if not, then ultimately a Judge will make the decision.
Ideally, you and your spouse can negotiate issues between yourselves with the help of your attorneys and capture your agreement in a divorce settlement. When you are able to come to the negotiating table, you retain control of the process and this can allow a more satisfactory outcome for both of you. You also keep your marital problems from being aired publicly in court.
Our divorce attorneys are extremely skilled in helping clients through both uncontested and contested divorces. We will stand up strongly for your rights no matter your divorce situation.
EDISON, NJ, DIVORCE ATTORNEY ANSWERS FAQS
In the following we clear the fog on some of the common questions we get as divorce attorneys.
How does the court divide assets in a New Jersey divorce?
Equitable distribution is the concept that judges in New Jersey use to divide marital assets between divorcing spouses. They consider the factors in N.J.S.A 2A:34-23.1 to arrive at fair decisions. Factors include such things as how long the couple was married, the health of both spouses, income and earning capacity of each spouse, and more. While property is divided in a way that is equitable, it is not necessarily a 50/50 split.
How are alimony payment amounts calculated?
There is no simple plug-in-the-numbers calculation for determining the amount of alimony payments. The court will apply various criteria as defined in N.J.S.A. 2A:34-23 to your specific situation. If you are expecting to pay alimony, our Edison divorce lawyers will work to limit your exposure to paying too much.
Will the court favor my spouse in divorce decisions?
The law does not play favorites; under the law, both spouses start out on equal footing during divorce. But as we know because of our focus area standing up for men’s rights, sometimes husbands do not feel like they are given the same consideration in issues of divorce as their wives. And it is not unheard of that old-fashioned societal norms of marriage and family may influence decisions. If any gender bias is evident in your case we will advocate strongly for your rights.
Our attorney can provide answers that specifically address your situation when we speak with you.
