Divorce and Division of Marital AssetsOne focus area for our firm is assisting clients who have considerable or complex marital assets. If one spouse owns a business or there is a family business in common; if a divorce will require valuation and division of pension and profit sharing plans; if one partner may be hiding financial assets, we have the financial know-how to handle these matters. Law firm partner Robert Litwack has an advanced law degree in Taxation and is prepared to give guidance on complex tax questions and those relating to pension law, real estate, corporate law, and bankruptcy when they arise in divorce proceedings. When reaching agreements on the division of property, it’s important to consider the overall picture of property, alimony, and child support. These are inter-related issues and should be considered together, along with the tax consequences of each. Child Custody and VisitationWe help parents obtain initial child custody orders in divorce or paternity cases, as well as seek modifications to custody and support orders that might be needed later as children grow and circumstances change. We also handle cases involving grandparents' rights. These can be difficult cases to tackle, but we do our best to aggressively defend the rights of grandparents to visit grandchildren—and the rights of parents when there is a reason to believe that grandparent visitation could be damaging to the well-being of their children. Civil UnionsWe help same-sex couples legally formalize their relationships into civil unions. When same-sex unions end, we have the background and experience to handle the details of dissolution in this new and emerging area of family law. Domestic Violence and Restraining OrdersIt is sadly the case that domestic abuse and false charges of domestic violence do arise in difficult divorce cases. We will take swift action with temporary restraining orders to ensure your safety if you have been the victim of a domestic assault. Immediate action is essential for everyone in the family. We also represent people who have been falsely accused of domestic violence. We never condone false testimony, and we will act swiftly and decisively to defend you against false charges in both family and criminal court. Contact Us NowOur office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with evening and weekend hours for emergency situations. Our office is easily accessible to all of South Jersey.
