Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Berkeley Heights

What if my spouse and I agree on some divorce issues but not others?

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.
