If you experience a change in circumstances and would like a post-judgment modification after the Judgment of Divorce, we can help.

If you have experienced domestic violence, you can be protected from future violence under New Jersey Law.

Call us if you are filing a restraining order or are falsely accused of domestic violence. Our domestic violence lawyers will explain your odds of a permanent Final Restraining Order being issued.
