When parents go their separate ways in a divorce, children are torn between two places — both should feel like home.

I could not agree more with the mission of NJCLG. Keep the outcome of your divorce in your hands, not a Judge's. As a Collaborative lawyer, I can help you do just that.

Let us help you address the emotional, financial and legal aspects of a separation, divorce, same-sex dissolution, end of a domestic partnership, parenting and other family and child-related issues.

Adult children of divorce are impacted too.

The divorce rate for the U.S. population over the age of 50 doubled during 1990-2015 and predictions show that the number of persons 50 and older who will divorce will grow by one third by 2030. These trends are occurring worldwide.

As the divorce rate for adults 50 and older soars, so too does the number of adult children experiencing parental divorce.

Although adult children are major stakeholders in their parents’ divorce, they are too often forgotten.

They frequently say that when they talk about their emotional concerns and experiences, the most important people in their lives often ignore and dismiss them. Their feelings and experiences of shock and fear from sudden, dramatic change are real, valid, yet generally disregarded. Key mistakes can significantly damage parent-child relationships.

Ask me about Collaborative Law and the many ways it can support you as you look to your family's future

Collaborative Law Case Study #7

A husband and wife, both ministers with four kids, lived together in the same house with the husband’s secret partner. The partner later exposed their relationship. Despite the acute trauma felt by the wife and children, going through a divorce using Collaborative Practice restored the relationship between all three adults and the children.

Certainly, not every divorce will be this unusual, but if you have an "interesting" case, the trained professionals at New Jersey Collaborative Law Group can help you.

Case Study #6

When a couple used Collaborative Practice to end a 16-year marriage, their team included lawyers, a child psychologist and a financial specialist.

Their team guided them to a fair financial arrangement for the children by helping them keep everyone’s needs in perspective.

Years after the divorce, the couple still calls each other every week to update one another on the children’s past week.
