Frequently Asked Questions About Livingston Divorce and Family Law

Can I keep my home after a divorce in New Jersey?

Depending on your financial situation, the home’s value, mortgage, and other marital assets, you might be able to negotiate for it or obtain it through property division. We can help you weigh options, including buying out your spouse’s interest or selling the property.

You can still move forward with a divorce even if your spouse refuses to participate. The court can address unresolved issues involving property, support, and custody, provided you followed the required legal procedures. We can protect your rights and help you through the process.

Typically, you can request a modification when there has been a substantial change in your child’s needs or the existing parenting arrangement. We can help determine whether the circumstances warrant a modification and seek a remedy in your child’s best interests.
