DIVORCE –Ending a marriage in New Jersey can be complex and emotional. A skilled divorce attorney from Pagliara Law Group can help you with the nuances of legal separation, a divorce filing, property division, alimony, and prenuptial agreements.
CUSTODY – It is understandable that feelings can run very high regarding legal matters involving child custody and your rights as a parent. A compassionate representative can help you achieve the most favorable result possible in the best interest of your child.
CHILD SUPPORT– When a parent is seeking support or is being asked to pay, it is critical to know your rights and how child support works in New Jersey. A skilled child support lawyer from Pagliara Law Group can help you understand this process, parental obligations, and how levels of support are determined.
PROPERTY DIVISION – First the court determines what property is part of the marital estate and what is not, including monetary savings, investments, personal property and real estate. You and your spouse will retain individually owned property and the court will determine an equitable division of the shared property. This may not be a 50/50 split. We can discuss how to handle the division of property in a way that is fair to you and does not leave you at a disadvantage as you leave the marriage.
DIVISION OF DEBT- The marital estate is not only made up of property, it also consists of various debts like mortgages, auto loans, and credit card debt. These debts need to be properly assigned as individual or marital and then distributed.
RETIREMENT- Retirement savings is a significant part of the marital estate that you should specifically address during the divorce. This is absolutely essential if a majority of your retirement savings is part of your spouse’s account through work. Your lawyer will need to take steps to ensure you receive your fair share.

Testimonials

“
I hired Attorney Pagliara for a issue i was having with a tenant. The tenant was trying to seek attorneys fees for his attorney and seeking a counterclaim and defense of retaliatory eviction. Mr. Pagliara worked quickly and got opposing counsel to drop his attorney fees that I may have been on the hook to pay and drop the retaliatory eviction. I never seen an attorney get such quick results. I am 1000 percent pleased. He is tenacious and very knowledgeable and diligent and aggressive. Took him 2 hours from taking my case to get results. I would hire him again and recommend him.
