Guidance When Your Marriage Is Changing

Ending a marriage is hard, and many people who call us have never needed a lawyer before. At Adams Family Law Group, LLC, our family lawyers walk you through every stage. Our team can help you negotiate a settlement or represent you in court if your divorce goes to trial in Essex, NJ.


As a Black woman-owned firm led by trial attorneys, we also handle child custody, child support, domestic violence, and real estate matters.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in New Jersey

An uncontested divorce means you and your spouse agree on issues such as property division, alimony, parenting time, and child support, so the case can often be resolved at a brief hearing. A contested divorce happens when you cannot agree, and it may involve mediation and, if needed, a trial. As your divorce attorney, we help by:


  • Reviewing your finances and entitlements
  • Drafting or reviewing a settlement agreement
  • Representing you at mediation and hearings
  • Preparing your case for trial

Why Hire a Divorce Lawyer

Even friendly divorces can miss details, such as retirement accounts or tax consequences, that cause problems years later. A good divorce lawyer catches them early, before they become your burden and cost you time or money.

Flexible Support Built Around Your Life

Our family lawyers meet clients by video, with daytime and evening appointments, making it easier to schedule a consultation around your work hours. You deserve clear answers before your next move. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with a divorce attorney in Essex, NJ, who will listen and help you plan what comes next. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually one year. At least one spouse needs to have lived here that long before filing. Adultery cases are the exception.


No. You can file on irreconcilable differences if the marriage has been broken for six months or more. Most of our clients go this way because it’s quicker.


Not always. New Jersey courts divide marital property based on what’s fair, not on an even split. Anything you owned before the marriage may stay yours.


Bring pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and any mortgage paperwork. A list of your questions helps too. If you don't have everything ready, we can let you know what other documents you'll need.
