Family Law

At Levy, Ehrlich & Petriello, our family law attorneys also have extensive practical experience in other areas of law, such as business, real estate, and taxation. This broad knowledge of the law gives us a better understanding of the issues in family law and their future ramifications. In addition to divorce, our family law practice also includes separation agreements, prenuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, adoptions, paternity, and modifications of agreements, and domestic violence matters.

When a client comes to our office with a family law issue, we carefully explain all of the client's options, while considering the emotional aspects of the circumstances. We provide the best legal support possible in difficult times.

Divorce

In a divorce situation, some parties may think they can work out the details without a divorce lawyer. There are, however, numerous issues that clients face, including:

  • Child custody and visitation
  • Child support enforcement
  • Property division
  • Alimony / maintenance
  • Health insurance responsibility
  • College responsibility
  • Refinancing of mortgages and other loans
  • Retirement plans
  • Stock options
  • Business interests
  • Debt allocation
  • Tax consequences

Our divorce lawyers address every issue relevant to a client's divorce. We aggressively protect our clients' rights in negotiations and during litigation. With over 50 years of experience in New Jersey and New York courtrooms, we have the litigation knowledge necessary to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
