Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreements (often called premarital agreements) can do more than just protect your assets. These agreements are a way for you and your spouse to clarify several important issues involving your rights: the rights and obligations of each spouse regarding specific property; the right to buy, sell, transfer or control property; the division of property upon your separation, divorce or death; matters of spousal support; wills, trusts or other estate planning strategies; and disposition of your life insurance benefits.

- Child Support

In New Jersey, the amount of child support to be paid is determined by a series of legal guidelines. The complete text covers more than 100 pages of full-sized type in legal language, as well as complex charts. While these guidelines are available in law libraries, courthouses, and on the Internet, a lawyer can help you understand them in light of case law and other factors.

- Paternity

Establishment of paternity is the process for making a legal determination of the identity of a child's father. When a couple is not married, a paternity action can be filed for several reasons: to obtain child support; to obtain health insurance through an employer; to protect the child's right to benefits if the father passes away; and to recognize a father's the legal right to custody or visitation of the child.

- Adoptions

An adoption is a wonderful way to expand a family or formalize the bonds between stepparents and children. But adoptions involve a great deal of legal paperwork, and even minor errors can cause major delays. The best way to make the adoption process go smoothly is to work with an experienced attorney. At the Law Offices of Daniel K. Newman, in Voorhees, New Jersey, we help clients throughout South Jersey through the adoption process, focusing on stepparent adoption.

- Domestic Partnerships

At the Law Offices of Daniel K. Newman, we are well prepared to handle them. Our Voorhees, New Jersey, law office represents GLBT couples throughout South Jersey in a wide range of legal issues that affect them, including: registration of domestic partnerships; dissolution of domestic partnerships; and child custody issues for same sex couples.

- Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Under the Domestic Violence Act, victims of domestic violence can seek restraining orders against their alleged batterers. New Jersey courts can issue temporary restraining orders very quickly upon evidence of abuse, and final restraining orders after more extensive hearings. New Jersey law recognizes that domestic violence can include many different types of behavior: assault. harassment, stalking, criminal mischief, criminal trespass and false imprisonment.

- Divorce

While New Jersey law can be used to resolve family law disputes like divorces in a way that is fair and effective, the law can also be used vindictively. As people accuse each other of bad things, the time, energy and money they spend fighting things out in court only increases. Depending on the issues involved, a divorce can involve complex legal determinations. It is best to seek the guidance of an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

- Military Divorce

If you are preparing to file for divorce from your husband or wife who is in the U.S. Army, the Marines, the Air Force or the Navy, contact the Law Offices of Daniel K. Newman for direction, advice and help. Likewise, if you are in a branch of the armed forces and wish to petition for divorce, our law firm can advise and assist you, with special attention given to the unique circumstances of your particular case and situation.

- Incapacitated Spouse Divorce

Whether your spouse was in a tragic drunk driving accident, was incapacitated through a gunfight or in a bombing in the military, or has suffered irreparable mental incapacitation as a side effect of alcohol or drug abuse, you have no doubt done your best to cope and find answers. Yet now you believe that divorce is the "lesser of two evils" as a path forward from this challenging place where you are now. Perhaps your incapacitated spouse has become violent toward you, or the two of you have otherwise reached a point where you feel unable to help — and in great need of financial and legal relief from an impossible marriage.

- Bankruptcy and Divorce

Financial distress and marital breakdown often seem to coincide. Experts in marriage and family relationships have frequently reported that financial problems and disagreements are one of the greatest causes of stress in a marriage. On top of the usual challenges, the declining economy has made both marriage and divorce more challenging than before for many couples.

- Spousal Support / Alimony

Alimony (often called spousal support) is support paid to an economically dependent ex-spouse. The amount of alimony and the time period during which it is paid vary. To determine how much support and how long, New Jersey courts look at 12 factors, including: actual need and ability of the supporting spouse to pay; length of the marriage; age, physical and emotional health of each spouse; the couple's standard of living during the marriage; and earning capacity, level of education and job prospects.

- Post Judgment Modifications

At the Law Offices of Daniel K. Newman, in Voorhees, New Jersey, we help people throughout South Jersey meet their legal needs by taking action in New Jersey courts. With more than 30 years of legal experience, we help our clients pursue modification of existing court orders related to a wide range of matters: child support, child custody, visitation/parenting time and alimony/spousal support.

- Child Custody and Visitation

In a divorce that involves children, parents are usually asked to develop a clear schedule (called a parenting plan) to determine when the children will be in each parent's care. Parenting plans can also cover other matters related to the legal custody of a child: education, health care, religious upbringing and financial support.

- Division of Marital Assets

Under New Jersey law, courts usually define marital property as property acquired by either or both spouses from the date of marriage to the filing of the divorce. Marital property can include many things, such as your home, bank accounts, cars, retirement savings and investments, among other things.

- Allocation of Marital Debt

You and your spouse may decide that filing bankruptcy before going through with a divorce makes the most sense for both of you. Or you may need to obtain a restraining order to prevent your spouse from racking up additional debts that you could be liable for during the process of divorce. Perhaps you need help dividing marital assets when many of your assets are tied up in loans: your house and the mortgage, your cars and the auto loans, your boat or furniture, or jewelry that you and your spouse have been paying for on installment plans.

- High Asset Divorce

Every divorce has some unique challenges in the area of asset division. High asset divorces tend to involve complex property division issues. An astute divorce attorney who represents you will work diligently to ensure that your financial rights are protected as you negotiate a divorce agreement. For example, in determining an equitable distribution of stock options, important questions include: When did the stock options come into play?; When were the stocks purchased?; and How much was earned in stock dividends during the marriage, and what types of earnings are projected after the marriage has ended?
