If your divorce process involves high net worth assets or child custody/parenting agreements, your case can quickly turn contentious. The Family Part often encourages families to settle their cases in order to find the best creative solution for their particular circumstances.
You can reach a settlement in several ways, from settlement conferences to mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law.

Additionally, you will have an empathetic divorce attorney ready to assist you with addressing shared businesses, deferred compensation, dissolution of domestic partnerships, and any other family law issues included in the divorce proceedings.
Our child support lawyers will protect your parental rights and help you reach parenting agreements that benefit you and preserve your relationship with your child. If you would like to request that your child be relocated within New Jersey or removed from the state, those determinations are typically made through post-judgment motions.
You and your children are our top priority. We will review every step of the legal process with you. Additionally, we even make ourselves available after work hours so that you get prompt responses to your questions and stay continuously informed.
Even if the court does not rule in your favor, the family law attorneys at Cowen & Jacobs can help you appeal your case in the Appellate Division. We have a glowing record of successful appeals and will help you build a strong case.
Additionally, to get a post-judgment modification after a Judgment of Divorce regarding child support, custody, and parenting time, you will need to file a motion in order to be heard in court. In order to win a post-judgment modification, you will need to prove a change in circumstances that justifies such a modification. That could be a financial shift, a move, and more.
We can help. Navigating sensitive child-related issues means that you need a knowledgeable attorney who can present the facts. Our family law attorneys at Cowen & Jacobs have the skills and legal experience to fight for successful outcomes.
If you have been a victim of domestic violence, you deserve protection. A Superior or Municipal Court can issue a temporary restraining order if your alleged abuser committed one of the violent acts under New Jersey statute N.J.S.A. 2C:25-1 et seq. We will then work with you to pursue a permanent Final Restraining Order (FRO).
We will also work with you if you have been accused of domestic violence and served with a Temporary Restraining Order. To ward off a FRO, we will leverage our years of legal experience to protect your rights. A FRO is not only permanent, but it can also have a negative impact on your life, affecting your ability to secure a job, among other disadvantages.
If you are searching for trusted advocates who will support you through your domestic violence case, the domestic violence lawyers at Cowen & Jacobs can help.
