High-Quality Representation in Divorce
and Family Law Matters
Not every family law disagreement needs to become a courtroom battle. There are often opportunities to reach fair agreements, even in disputes about money, property, or parenting arrangements, without prolonged litigation. The key is knowing which issues to negotiate, which to compromise, and when to stand firm.
Our Berkeley Heights family law attorneys at Diamond & Diamond, P.A., help clients approach divorce and other family law matters with a clear plan. We devote our practice exclusively to matrimonial and family law, and our attorneys have decades of experience negotiating settlements, resolving disputes, and advocating for clients in court. We provide candid advice, explain potential outcomes, and work with you to make informed decisions at every stage.
Family law cases in Berkeley Heights fall under the jurisdiction of the Family Division of the Union County Superior Court in Elizabeth. This court oversees divorce proceedings, custody and parenting time disputes, financial support matters, domestic violence, and requests to modify or enforce existing orders.
At Diamond & Diamond, P.A., we help you resolve family law disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, depending on the situation. We take the time to understand your concerns, explain your options, and work toward a resolution that protects your interests and reflects your priorities.
Divorce can involve much more than dividing bank accounts and property. Business ownership, investments, retirement assets, and other financial interests can make reaching a fair settlement more challenging. Our team has the experience to address these issues, identify what is at stake, and help you pursue an outcome that protects your financial future.
The Diamond & Diamond, P.A., attorneys have built their careers around resolving family law matters, from negotiated divorces to complex litigation. Their varied professional backgrounds give clients access to a range of approaches and perspectives during difficult decisions.

Everything does not need resolving at once. Agreements concerning property, support, or parenting arrangements can help narrow the remaining issues. We can help you document settled terms, negotiate outstanding issues, and seek the court’s assistance, if necessary.
If your former spouse violates a court-ordered agreement or judgment, you can file an enforcement request with the court. Depending on the violation, the court can order compliance and/or other appropriate remedies. We can review your existing order and help determine how to best address the problem.
Mediation can be useful if you are both willing to exchange accurate financial information and negotiate in good faith. However, it may not be appropriate if your spouse conceals assets, refuses to cooperate, or tries to intimidate you. We can help you assess whether mediation or another approach better protects your interests.
