Family Law

Reworking and rebuilding a relationship after infidelity is not easy, but neither is dissolving one.  Surviving infidelity is a profound opportunity to transform the damaged dynamics that led to the affair and to build a stronger, more secure, and lovingly conscious relationship together.

Stacy and Mike are two New Jersey residents who have been divorced for approximately one year. The former spouses have two minor children who they both look after. However, after a couple of months, Mike stops paying child support entirely due to complications with his job, leaving both in a situation where they'll have to catch up on payments eventually. 

In the event of a divorce with a child or children in the family, it's important to let both the mother and father have a say in how parenting time is divided. On top of this, the news of separation might be scary for the child or children, so it's important to listen to your child's preferences and be honest. 

Depending on whether you are preparing to leave, wanting a trial separation, or a divorce, your choice dictates the degree of finality in your words. You want to be able to voice your thoughts openly and clearly, and eventually, figure out what's best for you and your spouse. This process includes talking honestly, preparing to leave, and practicing separation before the divorce.
