What Does it Mean to Move Forward With a Mahwah Divorce Attorney?

While divorce, especially at the outset, can be a scary and overwhelming process, your dedicated family law team will help you navigate the process so that you and your family can Move Forward. It’s not just our motto, it’s our core belief: that although clients come to us at one of their lowest points in life, we can help them get to a time where this is behind them.

We’re here to fight for you, and your family, and to protect what you feel you need most. If you have kids, that can be about making sure you prioritize them during the divorce, and that there’s an acceptable Child Custody and Parenting Time plan that’s court-approved and in place. If your primary concern is financial, the fear of monetary stressors borne out of divorce, well, we handle that too, from High-Asset Divorces to divorces that hinge more on everyday financial situations.

What Do I Need to Do Before I Consult With a Divorce Attorney?

Truthfully, you don’t have to do any of these things. All you must do is call (848) 371-0609 or fill out the form on the bottom of this webpage.

However, if you like, there are some action items you can take prior to your consultation:

• Prepare your financial documents. This could include tax returns, bank statements, credit card statements, savings and retirement accounts, inventory of debts and/or loans, any pertinent financial documents. If these are not in order, don’t worry, your dedicated family law paralegal can help you.
• Be honest with what matters most to you, and your family. Do you want to find a way to keep the marital residence? Is there a second home that’s important? Maybe you’ve prioritized something, a child’s education or religious upbringing, that clashes with your spouse’s priorities. Be sure to be honest with your Mahwah Divorce Lawyer so you share the same priorities as to what you want out of the divorce.
• Gather any documentation that potentially speaks to the divorce: text messages, social media screenshots, emails. Bring all this communication to your consultation.

We know this is a stressful time, but we’ve helped so many clients Move Forward past this, and we can help you. Finally, for now, don’t forget to breathe and take a walk in one of Mahwah’s many beautiful parks, for instance, the Ramapo Valley County Reservation. Small things you do for your mental health can help you successfully handle divorce. Call today to begin working with a dedicated Mahwah divorce lawyer.
