Separation Law Firm in New Jersey

The Law Offices of Einhorn, Harris, Ascher, Barbarito & Frost, P.C. handle separation agreements as well as divorces. While there is no formal proceeding for a legal separation in New Jersey, there are agreements used to spell out the terms and conditions of your separation and our experienced attorneys can guide you through this process.

Separation Agreement

Under New Jersey law, this is a legally binding agreement between spouses that covers the interim period from when one spouse moves out of the marital home until they divorce. The separation agreement spells out the terms of the couple’s separation, and it generally resolves issues related to child custody and support, alimony, division of property and debt. The agreement must be made in writing, signed by both parties, and notarized. The couple’s debts and property are then frozen and made separate for each spouse. Henceforth, neither spouse is responsible for the debts of the other, nor is he or she free to sell or convert any marital assets.

You do not have to go to court to create a separation agreement. By the same token, a person who drafts his/her own is taking a gamble with regard to some very serious issues. You need an attorney who is familiar with all the factors usually addressed in separation agreements to ensure that nothing is overlooked or insufficiently addressed.

The attorneys of Einhorn, Harris, Ascher, Barbarito, and Frost have the expertise to assemble a separation agreement that saves you a great deal of trouble – including court costs and hard feelings – down the road.
