A separation agreement can establish financial and parenting arrangements while spouses remain legally married. A final divorce settlement officially ends the marriage and may incorporate the terms of that agreement. It should be noted that New Jersey does not recognize legal separation for the purposes of impacting alimony, child support, or other provisions.

Some provisions in the separation agreement, such as child custody and support, may be modified when circumstances change. Others, including many property-division terms, are generally intended to be final.

Because every agreement can have long-term consequences, it is important to understand the terms before signing.

What happens to your business during a divorce? Accurately valuing a company and its cash flow requires a forensic accountant. While litigated divorces typically force spouses to hire two competing accountants, a mediated divorce allows you to use a single, neutral financial expert to work collaboratively with your mediator, saving you significant time and money.

Yes. A postnuptial agreement allows married couples to establish how certain financial matters would be handled if they later divorce.

Like a prenuptial agreement, a postnuptial agreement may address the division of assets and debts, business interests, real estate, and spousal support. Couples may consider one after a significant financial change, the start of a business, an inheritance, or simply because they want greater financial clarity.

However, postnuptial agreements can face strict scrutiny in New Jersey and they are often deemed to be unenforceable given the current caselaw in New Jersey. Both spouses should provide complete financial disclosure, enter the agreement voluntarily, and have the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice.

If you are considering a postnuptial agreement, an experienced family law attorney can help you understand your options accordingly.

You worked hard to build your business. If you are facing a divorce, it is natural to worry about what could happen to it.

In New Jersey, a business—or a portion of its value—may be considered marital property subject to equitable distribution, even when only one spouse owns or operates it. Factors such as when the business was established, how it grew during the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, and the results of a professional business valuation by way of a cash flow analysis or forensic accounting report may affect how it is treated.

Taking the right steps early can help protect your interests and give you a clearer understanding of your options.

If you are a New Jersey business owner considering divorce, speak with an experienced family law attorney before making financial or business decisions.

Divorce can bring out the most intense emotions, but your legal process doesn't have to be a courtroom battleground. Litigated divorces can place deeply personal matters into the public court process while consuming significant time and financial resources.
Mediation provides a safe, collaborative space to work through your issues privately and cost-effectively.

Will a judge split up siblings in a divorce? Despite what you might see in movies like The Parent Trap, New Jersey courts recognize the vital importance of the sibling bond. In over 30 years of practice, our firm has seen that keeping siblings together is almost always the priority. Through mediation, parents can work together to craft a custody arrangement that keeps the children's best interests front and center.
