More Info

General Info: Trial attorneys for your divorce, domestic violence, child custody, relocation, parenting time, residential real estate and municipal court needs. A Black woman owned and led law firm practicing statewide which means we will go to every county in New Jersey. We are a Family Law focused interdisciplinary boutique law firm. What does that mean? Boutique means that your attorney is a partner who has 30 plus year experience in the practice of law, Lori was admitted in January of 1991 and Lesley was admitted in 1992. That explains boutique but what does "family law focused interdisciplinary" mean? We handle matters that are substantively related to the family law matter we are handling for clients at the time or when they arise. We are not a general practice law firm, but we do handle more than just family law related matters which are our focus.

Divorce
Child Support
In New Jersey it is called the Other Dependent Deduction. You need your new child’s other parent’s income: pay stubs, W2 and the most recent State and Federal Tax return in order to be able to receive credit from the Judge. You must file for the hearing and you will be able to have all the factors analyzed by the Judge to determine what is the appropriate amount of child support for your children based on your income, as combined with the income of the two other parents.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Child Custody cases, unless you can prove abuse and neglect to the level that the State intervenes, your kid[s]’ other parent has a right to parent and the kid[s] have a right to be parented by both parents. Kids need the love and support of both parents, if you have a problem with the other parent, it is your problem, please do not make it the kid[s]’ problem too.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Guardianship

Spousal Support
3. Gather Your Resources: How much did your wedding cost? Did you have a budget? What resources did you use to pay for your wedding? Those answers are instructive when thinking about divorce because most people planned in advance for their wedding. Moreover, many people spend extravagantly on their weddings but want to spend little or nothing on their divorce or worse do it themselves when they have much more to lose if they do not protect their rights to child custody, alimony, equitable distribution and other equally important interests. A good portion of my divorce practice is fixing what client’s have done to themselves as Pro Se or self-represented litigants in their divorce. Motions for Reconsideration or Appeals are sometimes necessary but ultra-expensive, and super time-sensitive. It is hard to get back what you unwittingly give away as a Pro Se or self-represented litigant. I hope to discourage you from being penny-wise and pound-foolish. To that end, I strongly recommend that you create a multi phase budget to fund your litigation with an attorney.
Annulment
Child Abuse

Restraining Order
As Counsel of Alleged Victim: Domestic Violence is quasi-criminal. As Plaintiff's attorney you must know the Elements of the Offense Charged. Those elements are defined by the criminal statutes, the difference is that the burden of proof is much lower in Family Court, it is not "beyond a reasonable doubt", it is "by a preponderance of the evidence". If the Plaintiff's attorney does not prove each element of the offense, then you, the Plaintiff will not meet your burden of proof in your domestic abuse case and there will be no Final Restraining Order [FRO]. The standard of proof “by a preponderance of the evidence” is often defined as more likely than not or the 51%~52% range. By contrast, beyond a reasonable doubt is defined as 99%. If an FRO is granted in a domestic violence case, the Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorney fees N.J.S.A. 2C:25-29b4.
