Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage, it’s the beginning of a new chapter. At Hand & Toker, LLC, we understand how overwhelming and emotional this transition can be. That’s why our New Jersey divorce attorneys are here to help guide you through every legal step, protecting your rights while assisting you in building a stable foundation for your future.
It doesn’t matter if your divorce is relatively straightforward or involves complex financial, custody, or emotional issues; we provide the clarity, compassion, and legal strength you need to move forward with confidence.
You can trust our team at Hand & Toker to advocate passionately for your family’s best interests with expertise and care.
In New Jersey, divorce is formally referred to as the “dissolution of marriage.” You can file for divorce based on fault grounds (such as adultery or cruelty) or no-fault grounds (such as irreconcilable differences or 18-month separation). Most couples today choose the no-fault route, as it tends to be less combative.
Regardless of the grounds, the divorce process must resolve several key issues:
Our attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of New Jersey family law and can help you pursue the outcome that aligns with your priorities, whether that’s a fair settlement or a courtroom judgment.
Some couples can reach an agreement on all major issues before filing. This is known as an uncontested divorce, and it’s generally quicker and less expensive than a contested divorce.
In a contested divorce, the parties disagree on one or more issues and require court intervention to resolve them. That doesn’t mean every contested divorce ends in trial. In fact, many are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. However, if a trial becomes necessary, you need an attorney who is fully prepared to advocate for you in court.
At Hand & Toker, we tailor our strategy to your situation. We can help you explore out-of-court resolution where appropriate, but we’re ready to litigate aggressively when needed.
Some divorces involve significant assets, multiple properties, business ownership, or investments. In these situations, proper valuation and equitable distribution are critical. We work with financial professionals and forensic accountants when necessary to ensure that marital assets are accurately identified and divided fairly.
We are also highly experienced in cases involving:
When the financial stakes are high, having experienced legal counsel on your side is essential.
Alimony, also called spousal support, may be awarded in a divorce to help one spouse maintain financial stability. New Jersey recognizes different types of alimony, including open durational, limited duration, rehabilitative, and reimbursement alimony.
We help you understand how alimony is calculated and what to expect based on the length of your marriage, each party’s income, and other relevant factors.
Divorce can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Hand & Toker, LLC, our attorneys will be with you every step of the way. We listen without judgment, explain your options clearly, and work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.
We believe in honest communication and practical solutions. We’ll never push you toward unnecessary conflict, but we won’t back down from it either when your rights are on the line.
If you’re considering divorce or have already been served with papers, now is the time to protect your future. Let Hand & Toker help you take control of the process and move forward with confidence.
