Compassionate Divorce Representation in New Jersey and New York

When you are going through a divorce, you want an attorney who takes the time to understand your situation. You also want a divorce lawyer who is both experienced and a fighter, who will aggressively pursue or negotiate for your interests. You want to be represented by someone who understands the process and will help you understand it — and your options — every step of the way.

At Kates Nussman Rapone Ellis & Farhi, LLP, our New York and New Jersey divorce attorneys have the knowledge, experience and compassion to help you through the often stressful divorce process. We have a history of providing divorce clients with a high level of service tailored to their individual goals. Put years of experience on your side. Contact us at our law office in Hackensack, New Jersey, or New York City.

We handle all divorce matters, including:

  • Contested and uncontested divorce
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Child support and ability to pay
  • Spousal support / alimony
  • Property division, including dividing complex assets and debt
  • Domestic violence

Post-Divorce Issues

If your divorce decree or settlement agreement includes child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support or another ongoing court order, you may need to enforce it or change it. Perhaps you have lost your job or become disabled, or your ex spouse has requested a change in visitation. Or perhaps you would like to relocate to a different state. Our New York and New Jersey divorce attorneys can help you bring or fight a motion to modify your order.

Your Interests, Front and Center

At Kates Nussman Rapone Ellis & Farhi, LLP, we believe in ethical representation. This means working hard to keep costs low while finding solutions for your unique challenges. We provide a calm and rational voice to clients going through an emotional divorce — one focused on helping you make the right decisions. For example, we will explore all forms of alternate dispute resolution, such as mediation, to find the most cost-effective forum for your divorce. But if that is unacceptable to your spouse and his/her attorney, or unsuccessful, we will fight for your rights. Both your personal and financial interests will guide our representation.
