Oceanport Divorce Lawyer

Oceanport Divorce Lawyer

Oceanport Divorce Lawyer

Oceanport is a borough of approximately 3.8 square miles in northeast Monmouth County.  Its northeastern portion juts out into the Shrewsbury River, directly across from Monmouth Beach.  The borough is bordered by Little Silver to the northwest, Long Branch to the East, and Eatontown and West Long Branch to the south.  Oceanport is well known to horse enthusiasts as the location of Monmouth Park, home to the William Hill Haskell Invitational.  Local publications, including the Little Silver- Oceanport Patch offer residents valuable information on topics such as coping with life after divorce.  Spouses should also speak with a knowledgeable divorce attorney, who can provide legal advice and recommendations for therapists, accountants and divorce mediators.  Litigation alternatives such as mediation can help you achieve a divorce settlement with dignity and efficiency, but you should discuss all the available options with an attorney in order to determine what is best for you.
Going through a divorce can be an emotionally charged, lengthy and complicated process.  Once you have made the decision to get divorced, the most important thing that you can do is to hire an experienced Oceanport Borough family law attorney to help guide you through the process.  Hiring a lawyer you can trust early in the process will help you to navigate all of the issues that may arise during your divorce proceeding.

How Do I File for Divorce in Oceanport, NJ?

In New Jersey, divorce cases are filed and heard in the Family Division of the Superior Court at the county court level.  If you want to file for divorce, you can start the process by filing a complaint with the appropriate court.  This is usually the court in the county where one of the parties resides.  Your complaint should include all of the relevant information regarding the marriage, such as place of residency, present living arrangements, children of the marriage, and the grounds upon which the divorce is based.

Oceanport Borough Child Custody Lawyer

One of the most significant aspects of a divorce is determining who will retain custody of the child or children after the marriage is over.  There are two different types of custody: legal custody and physical custody.  Legal custody is the right to make major decisions about your child.  Physical custody refers to who your child lives with on a daily basis.  Many times the parties to a divorce will end up sharing legal custody with one parent being granted physical custody.  So while the children may live with one parent, both parents will still have the right to be involved in making major decisions about the child.  These types of decisions may include issues regarding healthcare, education and religion.  When deciding with which parent a child should reside, courts will look at what is in the best interest of the child or children involved.  In Oceanport Borough, parties to a divorce where child custody is an issue will need to show why their claim for a specific custody arrangement benefits the child or children involved.

Collaborative Divorce in Oceanport Borough

A traditional divorce is often a highly emotional and antagonistic process.  A collaborative divorce, by contrast, is a relatively new way to approach the dissolution of a marriage and one which is less combative.  A collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial process that is settled outside of court with the help of lawyers and, on occasion, other family professionals if they are needed.  In situations where the parties going through a divorce are able to communicate and deal with each other in a positive manner, the collaborative law process may be the best option available to them to effectuate their divorce.
A collaborative divorce offers parties some important advantages, the most significant of which is that the couple themselves determine the terms of the divorce.  This allows the parties to have much more control than in a traditional divorce and it also allows them to avoid the uncertain outcome of a court proceeding.  Additionally, a collaborative divorce is typically less costly than a traditional divorce and the collaborative divorce proceedings remain private.   The biggest disadvantage of a collaborative divorce is that if for any reason a settlement cannot be reached, the attorneys representing the parties are required to withdraw from the case and each spouse will have to hire a new attorney to bring their divorce case to court.

Experienced Oceanport Divorce Lawyers

Once you come to the decision that your marriage is coming to an end, it is imperative that you hire an experienced Oceanport Borough family law attorney.  The attorneys at Villani & DeLuca have over forty years of combined experience in the area of matrimonial law.  Villani & DeLuca can advise you on all matters relating to child custody, child support and alimony.  Our attorneys can effectively manage your divorce whether you choose to pursue a traditional divorce in court, a divorce mediation, or a collaborative divorce.  Contact a Oceanport Borough family law attorney for a free consultation by calling 732-965-3350.
