Couples Find Divorce Legal Help Provided By New Jersey Divorce Law Firm

By Cliford Waluhan


Everyone wonders why so many couples want to end their marriage. Statistics indicate a rate of fifty percent give or take a few. New Jersey, for example, shows a rate of 3.3 per thousand in the year 2010. A New Jersey divorce lawyer will find a surplus of potential clients with the rate being that high.

Compare that to a marriage rate of 6.4 per thousand. Half of all people who got married, ended their matrimonial bonds. Each distressed marriage will need two attorneys, one to represent each of them.

Each state has its own set of laws. They may differ slightly in some cases and in many ways in others. A termination, or dissolution of marriage erases the legal and emotional bond between a couple who once fell in love and planned to spend a lifetime together.

Most give up far too easily. The relationship may be worth saving if both work hard at it. Of course, there are those individuals who end the bonds for the sole purpose of marrying a second spouse.

It is far better to resolve the issues that accompany the dissolution of one marriage before jumping into another. Issues like division of property, bank accounts and even life insurance policies are in need of resolution. Sometimes a home must be sold and sometimes child custody has to be determined.

A no-fault dissolution is granted on the grounds of irreconcilable difference or something called irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, which means the same thing. The courts must have long words handy to justify the cost involved. The attorney fee and court filing fee can add up to a hefty sum in many cases.

With the help of a lawyer, each partner can understand the legal obligations he or she has. A prenuptial agreement may be in effect. If one partner objects to the severing of legal ties, it can get expensive. Deciding child custody can make it even more so.

The more property involved the more anger will be involved. Often a couple will fight for custody of a child. It is, however, always in the best interests of the children to witness a polite, if not amicable, relationship between the parents.
