I’m considering divorce. Can you recommend a book or article that would give me more insight into the process?
Our website offers an assortment of articles on almost every legal topic out there. Click here to find a number of helpful resources on family law.
However, while an article may lay out the basic information, no article can substitute the advice of an attorney. Each divorce, like any case, is unique to the parties involved. We offer free consultations and during that initial meeting we can discuss the process with you and any issues or considerations that are particular to your situation.

Let’s Talk
I am seeking a divorce from my spouse and need interim support while the complaint is pending. How do I request this from the Court?
Any relief sought while your divorce is pending must be requested in the form of a Motion for Pendente Lite Relief. This is for any matters involving custody, support, property related issues, fees and discovery. When you file this motion, it must be accompanied by a completed Case Information Statement (CIS), a proposed form of Order, a Certification (your statement) and a Notice of Motion. You should refer to Civil Rule 5:7-2 for further information.
However, some of these documents, such as the CIS, may be overly cumbersome and will only add frustration to your already difficult situation. If your spouse has failed to pay child or spousal support during this time, you may be entitled to attorney’s fees. You should consult with an attorney to learn more about your rights. Please feel free to contact our office for a FREE consultation.
