When families break up, it unfortunately often negatively impacts the children involved. The lawyers at Keith, Winters, Wenning, and Harris, L.L.C., aim to minimize the effects of divorce on children, so whenever possible they choose to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR). With over 60 years of combined experience, these attorneys are well-prepared to support you and your children’s needs.

Domestic Violence

Whether you are a victim of domestic violence or a victim of false allegations, the attorneys at Keith, Winters, Wenning, and Harris, L.L.C., are ready to help.

Child Support

With divorce comes many financial requirements that often endure long after the divorce is finalized. This burden should not be placed on the children involved, both emotionally and financially.

Division of marital property

One of the most challenging aspects of divorce is the division of marital property. Since New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, property must be split up equitably rather than evenly.

Pre-marital/Mid-marriage agreements

While no one enters a marriage with hopes of divorce, it doesn’t change the fact that divorces happen in almost 50% of married couples. People are starting to realize the importance of planning for this potential outcome through prenuptial, postnuptial, and mid-marriage agreements. The attorneys at Keith, Winters, Wenning, and Harris, L.L.C., are ready to help you draft out an agreement that best suits your needs.

Appeals

If you are unsatisfied by the results of your trial, you have the ability to request an appellate review of the court proceedings. The attorneys at Keith, Winters, Wenning, and Harris, L.L.C., have many years of experience with both matrimonial and criminal appeals. Their law firm is well-versed when it comes to conducting legal research, crafting strong appellate arguments, and identifying legal errors that potentially arose during your trial.
