Our Family Law Practice Group offers a unique team of New Jersey family attorneys that can assist family law clients with a myriad of issues that arise during the course of their family law disputes. Our Family attorneys are highly skilled negotiators and litigators who combine years of experience in business litigation, trust and estate planning, taxation, business valuation, trial practice and alternative dispute resolution, along with a depth of knowledge in family law, to provide our clients with experienced counsel and guidance to assist them through difficult issues such as dissolution of the marriage, distribution of property, support and maintenance, tax and estate planning and child relocation and custody. All of these issues require careful consideration and expert advice to assist the client with the difficult decisions that he or she may encounter during divorce. If our clients need or desire pre or post-marital planning, our family law team can provide advice and assistance by structuring marital agreements that help to protect the client's interests in the unfortunate event of divorce or separation.

While we have experience working with a wide variety of families, we recognize that each family law matter is unique. Some divorces can be settled simply and amicably. Others may require a trial to resolve disputes. Divorce is often difficult for all involved, so we feel that our role is to help our clients through the process and offer legal solutions to secure their interests into the future.

Breadth of Practice

We assist our clients in determining their goals and objectives and then, with sensitivity and confidentiality, formulate and implement a strategy to make them real. The Brach Eichler Family lawyers work with a select group of clients and are prepared to handle virtually any issue in this rapidly changing field. Our intention is to help our clients conclude their divorce with a fair and equitable settlement that allows them to move forward in a positive way with their life. If trial is necessary, an experienced group of trial attorneys represent our clients aggressively through trial, and appeal if needed.

Our goal is to find solutions to the problems that you are facing. We are experienced in handling the complicated and sophisticated financial aspects of the divorce, while acknowledging the personal and emotional issues with which you are dealing. We do it all with creativity, flexibility and a strict attention to detail. Our goal is to support and guide you through the process of divorce with a strategy that minimizes the impact on your family, while sensibly managing costs and protecting your legal rights throughout completion of the case. If post-judgment matters arise, we welcome the opportunity to further serve you by aggressively taking steps to enforce your former spouse's obligations and to protect your rights under any judgment or settlement that has been achieved on your behalf.

Our Approach

We know there are many talented family lawyers in New Jersey available to you. We feel we bring something different to the process, taking a more personal, cost-conscious, but business-like approach to family law because of the range of other work we do. Because we know that there is life after divorce, we want to be your lawyer for the future, by offering a range of other services that may be of assistance to you going forward, including real estate services and estate and tax planning (including structuring insurance trusts and other sophisticated estate planning programs to protect your family), along with any other corporate or business advice you might require.

Our primary focus is on:

•  Pre-Marital Planning (marital agreements)
   
•  Dissolution of Marriage
   
•  Child Support
   
•  Custody
   
•  Alimony
   
•  Equitable Distribution of Assets
   
•  Post-Judgment Modification and Enforcement
   
•  Appeal
