“I am a Police Officer for Essex County New Jersey. I was having a custody battle with my 5-year-old child’s mother who was moving out of the state. I needed a lawyer who focused on domestic issues in a fair and impartial manner. Brad Micklin represented me and helped me get joint custody, reduce child support and dropped all false charges thrown at me by the child’s mom. I am living proof that if not for Mr. Brad Micklin, I would not be employed as a Police Officer today.” – Albert P.

Family Law Attorney for Men New Jersey
- Spousal support/alimony: Whether you are seeking spousal support or need help lowering your alimony obligation, we can put forth a persuasive argument to support your goals and prepare you for the hearing where you’ll be required to appear.
- Property division: No divorce can be finalized until an agreement is reached on the division of marital property and assets such as a pension fund that accumulated during the marriage. We will help you identify what is marital property as opposed to what a court will view as separate or premarital property, and how to equitably divide the remaining debt.
- Post-decree modifications: Our attorneys are adept at handling modification requests including those involving child custody and parenting time, child support, and alimony.
- Adoption: For family lawyers, there is nothing more joyful or rewarding than helping you grow your family through adoption. Talk to one of our dedicated team to see how we can help your dream of creating “one big happy family” become a reality.
- Prenuptial/postnuptial agreements: We advise clients to create a ”prenup” to protect themselves in the event of a divorce. These are especially important when there are children from a previous marriage or if one or both partners have special or extensive assets such as a business they’ve spent years building, real estate other than the marital home, an inheritance, and art or other collections.
- Domestic violence: If you or your children are victims of domestic violence, first call the police. When you and your children are safe, we can help you with all of the issues that arise as a result including protection and restraining orders, requests for modifying child custody and visitation, and even obtaining a repayment of the legal fees you incur to protect yourself and the children.
- DCPP actions: If your family is affected by an action taken by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency, formerly known as the Division of Youth and Family Services, reach out to us for help.
