Divorce and Separation

Divorce can be one of the most challenging life events. At Gary Blaustein, Attorney at Law, we provide experienced legal representation for individuals going through divorce. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, our goal is to ensure that your rights are protected and that you achieve a fair resolution.

• Asset Division: New Jersey follows equitable distribution laws, which means marital property will be divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. We will fight to ensure you get your fair share.
• Spousal Support (Alimony): We can help you negotiate alimony payments or modify existing support agreements.
• Divorce or Separation Mediation: If both parties are open to it, mediation can be a peaceful way to settle divorce matters outside of court.

Child Custody and Support

Child custody and support are often the most contentious parts of a divorce. Our firm understands how critical these decisions are for both parents and children, and we work hard to ensure the best interests of your child are always the priority.

• Child Custody: We can help you reach a custody arrangement that works for your family, whether you seek joint custody or full custody.
• Child Support: We assist with establishing child support agreements that are fair and based on the financial needs of the child and the ability of both parents to pay.
• Modification of Custody and Support: If circumstances change, we can assist in modifying existing agreements to ensure they still meet your family's needs.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Planning ahead can save you from costly disputes later on. If you're getting married, a prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind by clearly outlining the division of property and financial responsibilities should the marriage end in divorce. If you’re already married and want to formalize financial arrangements, a postnuptial agreement can also serve this purpose.

• Prenuptial Agreements: Establish clear guidelines for the division of assets and debts before marriage.
• Postnuptial Agreements: This is an agreement made after marriage, which can be just as important if circumstances change during the marriage.

Domestic Violence and Protection Orders

Domestic violence is an unfortunate but very real issue in many families. If you or your children are in danger, it is crucial to seek legal protection immediately. Our team is here to help you secure a temporary restraining order (TRO) or final restraining order (FRO) to ensure your safety.

• Restraining Orders: We can guide you through the process of obtaining a protective order to keep you and your family safe.
• Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges: If you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, we will defend your rights and help you avoid unnecessary consequences.
