In Howell, decisions about child custody are made with the best interest of the children in mind. These usually involve shared, or “joint” custody arrangements. The court will consider many factors, including the relationship between children and parents, stability of the home life offered, and the individual circumstances of each party, in deciding on how to allocate awards of custody and parenting time. It is useful to engage the assistance of an experienced Howell divorce attorney who can effectively represent your position to the court and fight for the best interest of your child.

A child support lawyer can help a parent work through the legal complexities involved in obtaining a fair child support award. The court considers many factors, including which parent has primary physical custody of the child and the incomes of the parties involved. For example, the parent with the lower income who may also be the primary custodian (the parent of primary residence or the PPR) will typically receive support. In these cases, the non-custodial parent (the parent of alternate residence or the PAR) can in turn make sure, with the help of a knowledgeable divorce lawyer in the Howell area, that an unreasonable support allocation is not forced upon him or her.

In Howell, New Jersey, property distribution in divorce follows the rules of equitable distribution. This means that marital property must be divided fairly, though not always equally (or “50/50”). Many factors are involved in determining the division of property, from age and health of the parties, to custody arrangements and income. If the parties are not able to resolve property division issues on their own, an arbitrator can be appointed to help both parties reach an agreement, or the court itself can make the final decision. A knowledgeable law firm like Goldstein Law Group can provide useful guidance to clients in these situations.
