Divorce & Support

Morris County, New Jersey, Divorce and Mediation Lawyer

At Berman Rosenbach, P.C. in Morristown and Bedminster, New Jersey, we represent both men and women in divorce and child support cases. While emotions may run high, we focus on the facts and strive to resolve the issues quickly.

Using Mediation in Divorce

A common misconception exists that divorce is usually a bitter battle between two warring spouses. This is not true, according to our attorneys. Mediation is a peaceful, productive and healthy way to resolve the sometimes contentious issues related to divorce. William J. Berman handles our family law cases. He brings not only 20-plus years of experience, but also service as a court-approved mediator and membership in the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators.

Determining Child Support and Spousal Support

Child support is based on strict calculations where net income is factored against expenses for day care and health care. From there, an amount is determined. While the formula is set and strict, oftentimes the accuracy and validity of the data used to derive that formula comes into question by one side.

Spousal support does not have a set calculation. It is based more on ensuring a stream of income for one spouse who may have ended his or her career to care for the children. Spousal support (or alimony) can be a temporary or long-term arrangement or it can be paid in a lump sum.

Resolving Divorce Cases Quickly

While there is no typical timeline for resolving a divorce, child support or spousal support case, we strive for prompt resolutions at Berman Rosenbach, P.C. There are cost-saving benefits and personal advantages in moving on with your life. If a case drags on, the emotional elements can eclipse the factual evidence and a peaceful divorce suddenly becomes a war. Usually, that war happens over issues related to money.
