Comprehensive Family Law Representation in Parsippany

At Simon, O’Brien, & Knapp, we understand the difficulties that divorce and family law bring to most individuals and their families. Our law firm has been resolving those issues for decades.

Thus, we are deeply familiar with New Jersey law, court proceedings, how judges view various issues, and how to strategize each individual case in search of optimum results.

We are here to provide the clarity, guidance, and support you need every step of the way through the issues that must be confronted and resolved, whether outside the courtroom in a mediation or inside the courtroom at trial.

Simon, O’Brien, & Knapp handles a variety of issues related to family relationships. These include the following:

  • Divorce. New Jersey provides no-fault as well as fault-based options for divorce. No-fault divorces are based on irreconcilable differences in which marital misconduct is not a factor. Fault-based divorces, such as for adultery, cruelty, substance abuse, or other grounds, involve proving the allegations in court.
  • High net-worth divorce. These divorces are generally more complex, involving substantial assets and/or property, family-owned businesses, or professional practices.
  • Child custody. Custody includes both physical custody (with whom the child mainly lives) and legal custody (involving significant life decisions for the child) which must be assigned in the best interests of the child.
  • Child support. Under New Jersey law, parents are obligated to financially support their children based on state guidelines.
  • Equitable distribution. In divorce, marital assets and property must be divided and distributed as fairly and equitably as possible based on each couple’s unique circumstances.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is an uncontested divorce and how does it differ from a contested divorce?

An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, such as asset division, child custody, and support arrangements, allowing for a smoother and quicker legal process. In contrast, a contested divorce involves disputes that require court intervention to resolve. Choosing an uncontested divorce can save time, reduce legal fees, and minimize emotional stress, making it an appealing option for couples in Parsippany, NJ, who wish to part ways amicably.

How can a family lawyer assist with an uncontested divorce in Parsippany?

A family lawyer can provide invaluable assistance during an uncontested divorce by ensuring that all legal documents are correctly prepared and filed, helping to negotiate terms that are fair and equitable, and guiding you through the court process. Their knowledge of New Jersey family law can help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure that your rights are protected. With the right legal support, you can navigate the divorce process with confidence and clarity.
