At Cowen & Jacobs, our family law attorneys in Teaneck, NJ, examine all facets of your case, taking into consideration the financial and emotional impact these proceedings may have on you and your family. We will explain your settlement options and work tirelessly to advocate for you and your best interests.
Even the most amicable divorce can present significant mental and emotional challenges. The compassionate Hackensack divorce attorneys at Cowen & Jacobs understand these difficulties. We will help you navigate the areas of equitable division of assets, child support and custody, alimony payments, and all other aspects of family law.
Family Part judges unanimously recommend settling all divorce-related matters outside of court, so that decisions about your family and assets remain in your hands—not a judge’s. Our legal team will educate you about your settlement options so you can make informed decisions about financial matters and your children.
Whether you are able to settle outside of court or your case goes to trial, our family law team at Cowen & Jacobs will be there to provide the support you need throughout your divorce process.
Negotiating child custody and parenting agreements can be stressful and emotionally taxing. Our child support attorneys will shoulder the work of pursuing your children’s best interests when it comes to determining parenting time, child custody, and child support payments.
If necessary, we can also fight for your parental rights, grandparents’ rights, and assist with the issues of relocation and removal of your children from the State of New Jersey which may arise while your divorce is pending or after your divorce is finalized. We will proactively communicate the status of your case and support you through each stage of the process.
If you are unsatisfied with the final outcome of your case, you have the right to appeal the judge’s ruling in the Appellate Division. Such appeals can overturn or adjust court decisions in a way that benefits you, should you win your case. The family law attorneys at Cowen & Jacobs have let many successful appeals and can help you form a strong strategy.
You can pursue a post-judgment after a Judgment of Divorce if you experience a significant change in circumstances. A post-judgment modification can adjust rulings around child support, child custody, parenting time, alimony, and other family law matters.
For example, if your ex-spouse remarries, they may no longer be entitled to alimony—or you may want to appeal a child support ruling if your financial situation changes. To have your case heard in court, you would need to file a motion for a post-judgment modification.
At Cowen & Jacobs, we will apply the full extent of our skills and knowledge to help you file a motion and present your case in court.
If you have experienced domestic violence, you can file for a Temporary Restraining Order under New Jersey State Law. Our family law attorneys at Cowen & Jacobs can support you through this process, including submitting evidence that your alleged abuser committed one or more of the acts of domestic violence listed under New Jersey statute N.J.S.A. 2C:25-1 et seq.
We can also assist you if you have been falsely accused of domestic violence by representing you in a Final Restraining Order Hearing. These hearings determine whether a Final Restraining Order will be issued. Our attorneys will litigate on your behalf in an effort to stop this from happening.
Marriage is a trusting partnership, and a prenuptial agreement can actually enhance that trust. Though prenups are used to settle financial matters in the event of a divorce, they can also be used to establish each partner’s financial role and responsibilities within a marriage.
At Cowen & Jacobs, our family law team will help you craft a prenuptial agreement that protects your assets under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA). That way, you can enter into your marriage with peace of mind.
