Divorce Lawyer Serving New Jersey

Marriage and civil unions are powerful legal and economic institutions. Dissolution is an emotionally difficult process that involves significant financial and personal risks for those involved. At Kingston Law Group, our attorneys counsel and advocate for clients navigating divorce proceedings, protecting their interests and the welfare of their children. If you need a divorce or dissolution of a civil union, we strongly recommend that you consult with our divorce attorneys at the first opportunity, certainly before discussing the terms of a settlement agreement with your spouse or civil partner. If you would like to speak with a member of our firm, please contact our Mercer County law office to arrange a consultation.

Financial Aspects Of Dissolution And Divorce From Experienced Family Law Attorneys

Financially, divorces and dissolutions of civil unions are similar to dissolution of a business. It is extremely important that all combined assets and debts are accurately classified and valued prior to the equitable distribution process. The terms of the property settlement agreement, alimony and child support should be negotiated in light of long-term tax consequences and any special circumstances. Depending on our client’s situation, our lawyers may call on top accounting forensics experts, certified public accountants, business valuation experts and financial advisers to assist in the process.

Divorce And Dissolution: Mediation, Collaborative Law Or Trial?

Uncontrolled legal expenses are an unnecessary drain on the partnership estate, and litigation is an emotionally exhausting process. Attorney Hanan Isaacs was an early advocate of mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes as the least harmful, most economical approach to resolving all or some of the points of disagreement during dissolution and divorce.

Attorney Hanan Isaacs is also trained in the collaborative law process in New Jersey. Collaborative law is a relatively recent form of alternative dispute resolution that can guide you and your family to a successful resolution. In collaborative law, each party is represented by counsel and all parties, counsel included, make a firm commitment to reach an amicable agreement together. If either party chooses to abandon the approach and files a claim in court, then each party must find a new attorney to represent his or her interests in litigation.

Mediation and other collaborative processes are appropriate only if both spouses are willing to work together in a neutral environment. When it is necessary to protect our clients’ best interests, Mr. Isaacs and attorney Misty Velasques, both experienced and successful advocates, are prepared to represent them in mediation, at arbitration, in a collaborative setting or before the trial courts.
