Family Law Overview

A Strong Focus on New Jersey Family Law

At Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, L.L.C., in Morristown, our attorneys provide exceptional client care and attention, seeking to relieve the stress and uncertainty of family law disputes. Contact us to schedule a consultation about your concerns in any of the following areas:

  • Divorce: Emotions can run high in divorce cases, but it is our job to provide a steady hand, looking out for our clients' best interests.
  • Division of assets: Under New Jersey's equitable distribution laws, it is usually best to negotiate a mutually acceptable property division.
  • High net worth divorce: Clients with complex financial interests require the attention of sophisticated divorce lawyers.
  • Business, property and investment valuation: Dividing assets equitably means accurately determining the value of those assets.
  • Alimony and spousal support: New Jersey does not have a formula to establish alimony, so an experienced attorney makes a difference.
  • Child support: Accuracy in the setting of child support is important to your interests and the interests of your children.
  • Alimony and child support modification: We help clients account for job loss and other developments affecting either party's income.
  • Child custody and visitation: The best interests of the child usually require having two parents involved in that child's life.
  • Parent relocation: If you are a party to a child custody order, you may need the court's permission to relocate out of state.
  • Domestic violence: Restraining orders for alleged domestic violence are a unique area of law. We represent either side in these cases.
  • Prenuptial agreements: Clarifying both parties' rights before getting married has many benefits.
  • Domestic partnerships and civil unions: We understand the differences between these structures and their implications for family law.
  • Paternity: A child of unmarried parents has a right to child support, and both parents have a right to play a role in the child's life.
  • Alternative dispute resolution and mediation: These methods can help you resolve family law issues, but it is important to get sound legal advice.
  • Litigation and appeals: We are prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to protect our clients' rights and interests.

Contact us if you are based in North or Central Jersey — including the counties of Morris, Somerset, Essex, Union, Hunterdon, Bergen, Passaic, Sussex, Warren, Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth — and need help finding family law solutions.
