At the Law Offices of Attorney Cindy Paul, located in New Jersey, we specialize in family law, representing clients across Hudson, Essex, and Middlesex Counties. We understand that family law matters such as divorce, annulment, custody, and adoption are not only highly emotional but also deeply personal, requiring a sensitive and compassionate legal approach.
Divorce and Annulment In New Jersey, a divorce or annulment can be pursued if one party has been a bona fide resident of the state. Our practice handles all aspects from filing the complaint, which must set forth lawful grounds for relief, to finalizing the decree. Grounds for divorce in New Jersey include adultery, desertion, excessive cruelty, separation, addiction, mental illness, imprisonment, and deviant sexual conduct.
Property Division As an “equitable distribution” state, New Jersey law mandates that marital property be divided fairly, though not necessarily equally, based on a range of factors including each party’s income, earnings, debts, and other relevant considerations. We help clients negotiate and reach settlement agreements that honor their contributions and rights.
Spousal Support Determinations regarding alimony are made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the needs and capacities of both parties. Whether temporary or permanent, we advocate for fair and just spousal support arrangements.
Child Support and Custody Child support in New Jersey is calculated using an Income Shares Model, reflecting the proportional income of each parent. Our firm works to ensure that support arrangements serve the best interests of the children involved. When it comes to custody, the child’s well-being is the paramount concern, guiding all decisions and negotiations.
Adoption We handle both domestic and international adoptions, adhering to New Jersey statutes that allow any person at least 18 years old and at least 10 years older than the child to adopt. We navigate the complexities of the adoption process, including compliance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations for foreign adoptions.
