Somerset County Family Law and Divorce

Among the most intensely personal and legally complicated problems people deal with are divorce and family law questions. Families negotiating separation, custody, and financial conflicts in Somerset County, New Jersey, sometimes need reliable legal advice to proceed with clarity and confidence. Our first priority at Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC is giving clients throughout Somerset County and beyond sympathetic, seasoned representation. Whether your divorce is starting or you are dealing with a post-judgment matter, our staff is here to represent your rights and future.

New Jersey family law addresses a broad spectrum of legal concerns including parents, spouses, and children. Divorce is among the most important since it not only ends a marriage but also rearranges living quarters, money, parental duties, and long-term planning. A qualified Somerset divorce lawyer can help you negotiate this extremely taxing period and guarantee your rights at all phases.

Here at Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC, we assist clients in making wise decisions, avoiding needless confrontation, and striving for favorable results that will promote their welfare as well as that of their children.

Various Types of Divorce

Every divorce differs. Some are simple and uncontested; others call for litigation to settle difficult problems. Both partners in an uncontested divorce agree on important matters including support, custody, and asset division. Usually speaking, these cases cost less and proceed faster. On one or more elements of the divorce, however, parties’ differences cause the case to be contested and can call for court involvement.

New Jersey accepts fault-based as well as no-fault grounds for divorce. Among no-fault reasons are 18-month separation and irreconcilable differences. Claims of adultery, excessive cruelty, addiction, or desertion could all fit fault-based grounds. Our Somerset County divorce lawyers at Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC can assist you to decide on the best course of action based on your goals and situation.

Important Concerns to Handle During Divorce

Divorce decisions taken now have long-term effects. Should children participate, child custody takes front stage. New Jersey courts evaluate each parent’s bond with the child, living quarters, and capacity to provide care, all with the child’s best interests in mind. Working together with clients, our firm creates fair, reasonable, and compliant parenting plans fit for court expectations.

Divorce also strongly weighs financial concerns. New Jersey splits marital assets reasonably as an equitable distribution state, but not necessarily evenly. This covers debt, property, retirement funds, and business interests. Sometimes spousal support—alimony—is given to enable one partner to maintain a level of living similar to that enjoyed during the marriage. Our lawyers counsel strategically to make sure clients know their rights and how to guard their financial future.

The Somerset County Divorce Process

Divorce filings for Somerset County start with a complaint to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Family Division. Located at 20 North Bridge Street in Somerville, NJ, the local family court handles all divorce, custody, child support, and family law issues in the county. Once a complaint is registered and presented to the other spouse, the matter moves through phases ranging from case management to discovery to mediation to settlement conferences to trial.

From the beginning of this process, the Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC provides thorough assistance. Whenever feasible, we negotiate fair settlements, help clients through financial disclosure, represent them in court appearances, and manage paperwork. Our interactions with the Somerset County Family Court system guarantee effective handling of your matter with individual attention.

Frequently Asked Questions on NJ Divorce

In Somerset County, how long does the divorce procedure take?
While disputed cases may take a year or more depending on the court calendar and the intricacy of the problems involved, an uncontested divorce can take a few months.

In New Jersey, do I have to show fault in order to get divorced?
No. Most people file under no-fault grounds, such as irreconcilable differences. If suitable for your circumstances, however, fault-based justifications are also available.

Will my divorce require me to appear in court?
Not always. Negotiation or mediation helps many issues to be resolved. If you and your partner come to terms, court visits may be limited.

How is custody decided?
The court will take into account the child’s best interests, which can include the child’s needs, household environment, and parental input.

After a divorce, may I be granted alimony?
Yes, if you qualify. To determine support, the court considers factors like income differences, length of marriage, and the standard of living.

What happens to our house?
One partner may buy out the other, or the marital home could be sold. When distributing property, the court considers equity, contributions, and practical as well as legal factors.

What if my spouse ignores the divorce paperwork?
If your spouse does not respond in time, you can proceed with a default decision, allowing your case to move forward without their participation.

Can both spouses use the same attorney?
No. One attorney cannot represent both sides in a divorce. However, if both partners seek a cooperative resolution, a neutral mediator can assist.

What happens if I need to modify custody or support later on?
If circumstances significantly change, you can petition the court for a modification. Our firm handles post-judgment matters and enforcement actions.

If my divorce is uncontested, do I still need a lawyer?
Even in uncontested cases, it’s wise to consult with a Somerset divorce attorney to ensure your rights are protected and all documents are properly filed.
