New Jersey Family Law Attorney
Calm and Compassionate Representation in Divorce and Family Matters
If you are considering filing for divorce or if you are already a party to a divorce proceeding, you want an attorney who understands the emotional difficulty of making decisions about issues such as custody and visitation, support, and the division of marital property. These issues are often emotionally charged. You want a lawyer who will aggressively protect your interests, but who will also recognize the human element of your divorce.
At the offices of Thomas J. Crownover, Attorney at Law, in Metuchen and Bridgewater, I handle all matters related to divorce and family law for men and women throughout Middlesex County and Somerset County in New Jersey. I understand the emotional toll that a marital breakup can have on everyone involved. I work hard to take away the stress and anxiety you feel, taking a calm and steady approach to resolving your family law issues. Though I am always prepared to take your case to trial, I know that in many situations, everyone is better served through negotiated settlements. Contact my office to arrange a confidential consultation.
Full-Scope Divorce Representation
I work closely with individuals at all stages of a divorce, from the decision to file through post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing court orders. I handle matters related to or arising out of a divorce, including:
- Child support — In New Jersey, child support is based upon judicial guidelines. I will work with you to make certain that the guidelines are properly applied and that all relevant income is fairly included in the calculation. When appropriate, we can request the court deviate from the guidelines.
- Alimony or spousal support — I will help you determine whether alimony is warranted and, if so, the amount, frequency and duration of payments.
- Child custody and visitation — I will help you establish and implement custody and visitation plans that are in the best interests of your minor children while protecting your rights as parents.
- Property division — I will work with you to bring about an equitable distribution of the debts and assets of the marriage, including real property, bank accounts, retirement funds and business assets.
Representation in Adoption
I will also act as your advocate in any adoption proceedings, including grandparent or relative adoptions, and third-party adoptions.
