Interstate & International Family Lawyers in New Jersey for Military & Civilian Spouses

If you and your spouse live in different states or countries, family law matters can become extremely complex. Our family lawyers in New Jersey are up to date on the laws and can advise you of the ramifications of filing divorce complaints and/or custody issues with a party living out of state. Our attorneys are also skilled at handling cases where a parent wishes to move out of state with the children for relocation purposes.

International cases can be even more complex. Although many countries are members of the Hague Convention, which simplifies child custody issues, many others are not. Our attorneys can advise you of your rights regarding divorce and custody in international issues.

Military Families Face More Complex Issues

There are also specific issues that arise when divorcing a member of the military, especially during wartime. Our staff of professional family law attorneys has been working with military divorces for decades. Further, our close proximity to Picatinny Arsenal has given us a strong background in military divorce.

Distribution of marital assets in a divorce where one or both parties are in the military does not follow the usual path. These assets are typically unique and some non-transferrable. Therefore, unique solutions to equitable distribution must be sought.

Child custody and parenting time for enlisted parents can also be a challenge to negotiate. Consideration must be given to creating a stable environment for the kids while one or both parents may be changing bases.  What happens to the parenting schedule when a parent is deployed? Creative parenting schedules need to be developed to ensure a deployed parent has adequate time with the child(ren) when at home.

If there is domestic violence occurring or mental health problems, it becomes imperative to make sure you have an expert family law attorney working with you and for your family to ensure your safety.
