Although all divorces are different, splitting from your spouse is a traumatic and stressful experience for most people. When you add to that the divorce process—lawyers, court dates, meetings, paperwork—it can be overwhelming. That’s why having an experienced divorce attorney on your side can help alleviate some of the stress that inevitably comes with getting a divorce.
What can a Lawyer do for Me?
Since New Jersey divorce attorneys understand how to navigate the complexities of the court system, they can assure your divorce goes as smoothly as possible.
Some of the specific ways a New Jersey divorce attorney can help you in the divorce process include:
- Verifying your residency requirements before filing for divorce.
- Determining the grounds for divorce and helping you prove it to the court.
- Helping you file your divorce papers.
- Filing other paperwork and keeping track of important dates.
- Serving the divorce papers.
- Negotiation with your spouse’s attorney.
- Helping you reach a fair settlement.

As you can see, there’s a lot to do and keep track of during a divorce, so having an attorney on your side with experience is a huge advantage. Besides helping you with specific tasks, one of the most important things a divorce attorney can do is provide you with objective advice. During such an emotional time, it’s essential to have someone on your side who has helped other people get through the divorce process before and can give you an unbiased, outside perspective.
Also, because your attorney will have experience with divorce proceedings, he or she may be able to anticipate legal problems before they arise and save you time and money. Even if you decide to only use your lawyer for consultation services, their input can be invaluable.
