Point Pleasant Beach Divorce Lawyer

How Do I File for Divorce in Point Pleasant Beach?

Divorce ChildIf you are currently residing in Point Pleasant Beach and considering a divorce, it is important to begin gathering all the information you will need to file your complaint with the court.  In New Jersey, divorce complaints are filed with the Superior Court in the county in which you reside.  As a Point Pleasant Beach resident, you can file your complaint with the Superior Court of Ocean County, located at 118 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ, 08754.  You can also file your complaint in the county in which your spouse resides if you are living apart.
The divorce complaint provides a great deal of information to the court including the grounds (or reasons) that you are seeking a divorce, as well as any additional relief you are seeking, such as alimony and child support.  In New Jersey, you can file for a fault or no-fault divorce.  In a fault divorce, you are assigning blame to your spouse for the disintegration of the marriage.  Various reasons for a fault divorce include adultery, desertion, extreme cruelty or other type of abuse.
In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse is claiming the other is responsible for the breakup of the marriage.  In a no-fault divorce complaint, you do not have to provide specific reasons for the divorce, but you may have to show certain other types of proof depending upon the type of no-fault divorce you seek.  For instance, if you file for a no-fault divorce based upon separation, you and your spouse will have to show that you lived apart for at least eighteen months.
There are many issues to consider when submitting your divorce complaint.  Our experienced Point Pleasant Beach family law attorneys at Villani & DeLuca can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of divorce complaints.  We carefully consider our clients’ circumstances to discern what legal relief should be sought, and how to proceed to best achieve our clients’ goals.

Divorce Mediation Services in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

The divorce process can be fraught with emotion, but in some circumstances it is best to proceed in a less confrontational manner.  Mediation reduces stress on the couple involved by allowing them to control the outcome of the divorce.  If you are considering mediation in Point Pleasant Beach, our qualified divorce mediator, Vincent DeLuca, can discuss the advantages of this affordable and non-adversarial alternative to traditional divorce.  Mediation provides a more supportive and peaceful environment for facing the complicated situation the dissolution creates.  Parties discuss their parenting plans, the need for alimony or child support, and the distribution of assets before a neutral third party.  After an agreement is reached on the various issues of the divorce, the mediator will create a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which will be submitted to the court as part of the uncontested divorce.

Collaborative Divorce Attorney in Point Pleasant Beach

If you prefer to retain your own representation in the divorce but still want to avoid a long, drawn out court battle, collaborative divorce may be right for you.  In a collaborative divorce, the parties each have their own attorneys, but much like mediation, there is an effort to resolve the issues of the divorce outside of the court.  Attorney Vincent C. DeLuca of Villani & DeLuca is experienced in collaborative divorce and can help you decide if this type of divorce is right for you.  Contact our offices today at (732) 965-3350 to set up a free consultation.
