Divorcing an Abusive Spouse in New Jersey
Welcome to The Skiendziul Law Firm, your trusted partner in navigating the complex process of divorcing an abusive spouse in the state of New Jersey. Our team of legal experts is here to provide you with comprehensive guidance and support throughout this challenging journey.
Understanding Divorce Laws in New Jersey
When you're facing an abusive relationship and contemplating divorce, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with the divorce laws in New Jersey. The state of New Jersey recognizes both fault and no-fault grounds for divorce, and abuse can be considered as one of the fault-based grounds.
At The Skiendziul Law Firm, we understand the importance of documentation and evidence when it comes to proving abuse in court. Our experienced attorneys will work closely with you to gather and present the necessary evidence to substantiate your claims, ensuring that your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
Protective Orders and Your Safety
One of the most crucial aspects of divorcing an abusive spouse is taking immediate steps to ensure your safety and the safety of any children involved. In cases of domestic violence, obtaining a protective order or restraining order may be necessary.
Our team at The Skiendziul Law Firm has extensive experience in helping victims of abuse obtain protective orders swiftly and effectively. We will guide you through the legal process, filing the necessary paperwork, and representing you in court to secure the protection you need.
Child Custody and Support
Divorcing an abusive spouse involves not only securing your own safety but also safeguarding the well-being of your children. Child custody and support arrangements are critical considerations in these cases, and the court's primary focus is the best interests of the child.
Our knowledgeable attorneys have a deep understanding of New Jersey's child custody laws and will advocate fiercely for your rights as a parent. We will work diligently to present compelling evidence to the court, ensuring that your children are protected from any further harm and that their future is secure.
Division of Assets and Spousal Support
When it comes to the division of assets and spousal support, New Jersey follows equitable distribution guidelines. This means that marital assets will be divided fairly but not necessarily equally.
At The Skiendziul Law Firm, our expertise lies in helping victims of abuse navigate the complexities of asset division and spousal support. We will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive your fair share of the marital assets and, if applicable, appropriate spousal support to help you rebuild your life.
Seeking Counseling and Support
Recognizing that divorce is a challenging and emotional process, we encourage our clients to seek counseling and support during this time. There are numerous organizations and resources available in New Jersey to provide emotional and legal support, such as New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women and local domestic violence shelters.
At The Skiendziul Law Firm, we can provide valuable recommendations and referrals to trusted professionals who specialize in assisting individuals navigating through the difficulties associated with divorcing an abusive spouse. Your well-being is our top priority.
