Contemplating a divorce from your spouse is never an easy decision to make. If you are considering separation or divorce due to difficulties in your marriage and want to explore your options, an experienced New Jersey divorce and separation attorney from our firm can help.
We invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with a New Jersey divorce lawyer from our firm. An attorney from The Law Office of Gruber, Colabella, Thompson, Hiben & Montella will help you take the next appropriate steps toward separation or divorce.
As an alternative option to going through a divorce immediately, many couples first decide to enter into legal separation. This leaves the opportunity available for the two parties to have a reconciliation. With the help of an attorney, you can evaluate your marriage and consider options for either repairing or terminating the relationship.
There are many different types of separation agreements. Specifically, what needs to be considered in these circumstances are new living arrangements, joint household incomes that will now need to support two households, along with child custody, child support, and visitation to name a few. An attorney can help you evaluate the choices that are available to you and your spouse, and pick the separation arrangement best suited to the unique conditions of your relationship.
Divorce mediation is an alternative method of dispute resolution that often brings about successful results. During the divorce mediation process, a neutral third party, the mediator, helps each party to set aside any extraneous emotional issues and focus on completing the tasks at hand. At our New Jersey firm our divorce and separation attorneys are trained in divorce mediation and provide this service to our clients, allowing the divorcing parties to more effectively reach a resolution. If you live in New Jersey and are interested in divorce mediation services, contact an attorney at our law firm for a free initial consultation.
