Divorce

If you are considering divorcing your spouse, or believe your spouse may be considering divorcing you, it would be wise to consult with a divorce attorney. Most people are not aware of the laws in the State of New Jersey as it relates to divorce. Many people obtain their knowledge through the internet, through friends and family that have been through a divorce, or even more dangerously, through television and movies. Consulting with a divorce attorney can get you the answers you need to important questions while protecting your personal and financial interests.

For example, many people have held off on filing for divorce because they were under the impression that they had to first separate from their spouse for a certain period of time. Other people have remained in the same household as their spouse for the sole reason that they did not want to be charged with abandonment. Neither concept holds true in New Jersey. Likewise, when a marriage gets stormy, idle threats are often made from one spouse to the other regarding the children, money, assets, etc. which can cause emotional strain. Consulting with an attorney can help set your mind at ease by obtaining answers to questions regarding these very important issues.

The Law Office of Ronald H. Carlin offers a free consultation, either in person, or via telephone. If you are experiencing marital difficulty, call for a free consultation. There is no commitment to hire the firm and at the conclusion of the consultation you will feel armed with knowledge regarding the divorce process including what you can expect regarding custody, division of assets, payment or receipt of support and other issues.
