        I was fortunate to retain Brian to represent me in my divorce case. He was aggressive in court and fought hard for me to protect my relationship with my daughters. This was a bitter and nasty fight but he was more than up to the task. In the end I felt like I won the war.

        In my opinion he is a great lawyer and very compassionate, I would recommend to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

        If you need a great family lawyer I recommend the freeman law center without hesitation. My life was a complete shambles because of the divorce I had to go through I didn’t know that i could feel so bad. The efforts that I received from Brian was outstanding and I can’t put in words how much I appreciated the way I was treated by his staff.

        Their slogan “Quality and Commitment” was not just words it was action.

        Question:

        What are the differences between a contested and an uncontested divorce?

         

        Answer:

        A frequent question clients ask me is “What’s the difference between a contested and an uncontested divorce in New Jersey?” There are two types of divorces in New Jersey. One is a contested divorce, and the other is an uncontested divorce.

        A contested divorce involves the parties negotiating or actively fighting over assets, child custody, child support, or even pets. Contested divorces are typically going to be far more expensive than an uncontested divorce.

        In an uncontested divorce, the parties have either agreed on how to dissolve their assets, or there are no assets to fight over. These also involve no children, or there are no issues concerning the children, such as child support or custody and parenting time.

        An uncontested divorce is generally the best way to go for the parties, assuming they can do that. If there are children involved, an uncontested divorce can diminish the stress on them as well as on the parties themselves. Uncontested divorces will also be far less expensive than a contested matter.
