Divorce

South Jersey Divorce Attorneys

Most people who are going through a divorce are exhausted emotionally and want to get it over with and move forward. At the family law practice of Musulin McGuigan, LLC in Mount Holly, New Jersey, that is the core of what our divorce attorneys try to do.

The ultimate objective in any divorce or legal separation case is reaching a fair and reasonable resolution of all disputes pending between the parties. The resolution is memorialized in a written form called a Judgment or Property Settlement Agreement. It is essentially a written contract between the parties defining all of their rights and obligations after they are divorced.

The divorce judgment addresses such issues as:

• Child Custody, which includes legal custody and physical or residential custody.
• Child Visitation (called parenting time in New Jersey), which is awarded to the parent who does not have physical or residential custody
• Child Support
• Alimony, or spousal support
• Equitable distribution of property includes houses, savings account, retirement plans, and all other assets.

It is important to remember that you are free to settle your differences with your spouse at any time, even before the filing of a lawsuit for divorce. It is also possible to break off from court proceedings and settle your divorce case. Not only will the court system and the attorneys appreciate this fact, but you will probably save yourself a tremendous amount of time, aggravation, and money.

New Jersey has been a no-fault divorce jurisdiction since 1971. This means that whatever caused the end of your personal relationship has no bearing on how we address the important business issues. To schedule a consultation, contact New Jersey family law attorneys Christopher Musulin and Colleen McGuigan.

With office in Mount Holly, we serve clients throughout South Jersey.
