Our Approach to Divorce in Voorhees

Types of Divorce Services We Offer

Uncontested Divorce: When both spouses agree on the terms of their divorce, the process can be quicker, less stressful, and less costly. Our lawyers assist with the paperwork, negotiations, and filing procedures, ensuring that all legal requirements are met so you can move forward smoothly.
Contested Divorce: A contested divorce may be necessary if disagreements arise regarding asset division, child custody, or spousal support. Our skilled litigators will represent your interests in mediation or court, working to achieve an outcome that aligns with your goals and protects your future.
High-Asset Divorce: Complex assets, including real estate, businesses, investments, and retirement accounts, require legal knowledge to ensure accurate valuation and equitable distribution. Our lawyers have extensive experience handling high-asset divorces and protecting clients’ financial interests.
Divorce Involving Children: Divorce can be particularly challenging when children are involved. Our team is dedicated to minimizing the impact on your family by advocating for custody and support arrangements that prioritize your children’s well-being.
Post-Divorce Modifications: Life circumstances can change, and sometimes modifications to custody, child support, or alimony are necessary. We assist clients in filing for modifications when significant changes, such as job loss or relocation, affect existing agreements.

What Is the Difference Between a Fault and No-Fault Divorce?

New Jersey offers both no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce. In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse is blamed for the breakdown of the marriage. Fault-based grounds, such as adultery or desertion, can impact alimony and other aspects of the divorce. Our lawyers can help you decide which option best suits your situation.

How Long Will My Divorce Take?

The length of your divorce process depends on various factors, including whether your case is contested or uncontested. An uncontested divorce can take a few months, while a contested case may take over a year. We work to streamline the process wherever possible.

Can I Request Alimony?

Yes, alimony may be granted if one spouse demonstrates a financial need and the other has the ability to pay. Courts consider various factors, including the marriage duration, financial contributions, and each party’s earning capacity.

What if My Spouse Hides Assets?

Hidden assets are a serious concern, especially in high-asset divorces. Our team has the resources and experience to uncover undisclosed income, assets, and property to ensure that all marital assets are considered during division.

Can Custody and Support Orders Be Modified?

Yes, changes in life circumstances may justify modifying existing custody or support orders. We assist clients in pursuing modifications when significant changes, such as relocation or job loss, impact their ability to adhere to the original terms.

How Is Custody Determined?

Child custody is determined based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, the child’s needs, and any history of domestic violence. Our lawyers help clients establish parenting plans that support their children’s welfare and encourage positive co-parenting.

How Is Child Support Calculated?

New Jersey uses a formula to calculate child support, but individual circumstances may impact the final amount. Burnham Douglass assists clients in understanding these guidelines and working toward a fair support arrangement that meets their children’s needs.

What Are the Steps in the Divorce Process?

Consultation and Strategy Development: Your journey starts with a consultation to discuss your unique situation, goals, and concerns. Our team will outline the process, answer your questions, and develop a strategy that aligns with your priorities.
Filing for Divorce: To begin the legal process, a formal complaint for divorce is filed. Our lawyers handle all necessary paperwork and filing requirements, ensuring your case starts on solid ground.
Negotiation and Mediation: Many divorces can be settled through negotiation or mediation, saving time, stress, and expenses. We work diligently to negotiate fair agreements regarding property, custody, and support whenever possible.
Court Hearings and Litigation: If issues remain unresolved, we are prepared to represent you in court, advocating for your interests on matters ranging from asset division to child custody. Our lawyers have extensive courtroom experience and are dedicated to achieving your best possible outcome.
