Are you looking for divorce lawyer in Northern NJ?  Kathy Karas-Pasciucco of Feitlin, Youngman, Karas & Gerson is a divorce attorney who provides divorce lawyer in Northern NJ.

Getting a Divorce is a grim process for anyone. Sometimes there is a lot of hate and animosity that it takes the help of other people to reach a peaceful conclusion. Divorce lawyers serve as advocates for just one party that hires them, therefore each party hires its lawyer.
When a couple decides to get a divorce using divorce litigation, each party contacts a lawyer. The lawyer acts in the capacity as a spokesman and representative of their client. As your divorce lawyer, we have to negotiate and resolve issues between the parties and when both parties fail to conclude, it is brought before a family court.
At court, each party prepares the case and documents and then presents it before the court's judgment. Both parties make their argument, bringing in witnesses, experts and sometimes even the children to testify. The family judge then makes a binding decision on both parties regarding matters like alimony, child support, parenting and time-sharing, child custody and division of marital assets and debts etc.

Reasons to hire a divorce lawyer

  1. Fear of safety or Domestic Violence

    If a spouse is violent or has a history of violence or maybe even a restraining order, there is no other way of settling the divorce case than litigation. Sometimes, one party might feel less powerful than the other so it is usually better to have the court system handle such disputes since no one is above the law.
  2. A party is incapacitated

    If one party is lacking in the ability to make sound decisions, then it is better to hire a spokesperson (lawyer) for such a spouse. Unlike mediation that requires a voluntary decision by both parties to negotiate a compromise, divorce litigation does not require such agreement.
  3. Distrust among parties

    If there is deeply rooted distrust between them, and one party feels like the other is hiding assets, the best line of action is to hire divorce lawyers. This is so that the courts can order the spouse in question to surrender documents for clarification.
As Divorce attorneys, we sometimes encourage our clients to consider Collaborative Divorce. This is an alternate form of a divorce settlement that is a combination of Divorce litigation and Divorce mediation, during a collaborative divorce, each party has a counsel and chooses a mediator to preside over the matter. This is to foster a more open and welcoming environment for quick settlements of claims.
At FYKG, our goal is to reach the most amicable decision possible for both parties however, as divorce lawyers, our priority is to protect you- our client. As divorce attorney’s our approach maybe adversarial but the aim is to help secure a favorable outcome that both parties can live with as they move on with their lives. If you need a divorce attorney, you need FYKG.
