Divorce

Englewood, New Jersey, Divorce Lawyer

Clients most often come to the law offices of Jadoo & Zalenski with questions about divorce after they have already realized that their marriage is coming to an end. We never encourage people to pursue divorce when they are unsure if it is the right step to take. But once that decision is made, we are prepared to provide insightful guidance and support as husbands and wives move through the difficult process of marital dissolution.

To schedule a consultation with an experienced New Jersey divorce attorney, contact us by phone or e-mail regarding any aspect of divorce, including:

• Equitable distribution of assets of a marriage: inevitably, some compromise on both sides will be necessary
• Child custody and visitation: protect your parental rights
• Child support: statutory support formulas are a starting point, but not the whole story
• Alimony (spousal support): the length of the marriage matters

Arriving at Equitable Property Settlement Agreements

The laws of New Jersey offer plenty of guidance in family law matters such as divorce, but separating spouses in a faltering marriage are free to negotiate their own uniquely suitable divorce settlement agreements. We encourage our clients to maintain a realistic and positive attitude when deciding on division of property or child visitation arrangements.

Mind over Heart in Money Matters

We believe that if divorcing spouses can set their feelings aside long enough to focus clearly on the desired end result, they will understand the wisdom of keeping legal costs low and thereby preserving more of the family's resources for the various members of the family: wife, husband, children, and potential heirs.

Settlement Agreement Negotiations ◦ Mediation

While many divorcing couples can agree on most topics, there are often a few lingering issues that need to be resolved despite well-intentioned settlement agreement negotiations. Our attorneys represent clients engaged in mediation (including court-ordered mediation) to arrive at fair and equitable settlement agreements.

Even if divorce is not yet in sight but you feel it is unavoidable, we welcome the opportunity to advise you on ways to plan carefully for it. Contact Jadoo & Zalenski.
