Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce usually take in New Jersey?
There is no single answer. Some divorces are resolved in a few months, while others may take years. Our goal is always to move your case forward as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
How does a New Jersey court decide child custody?
Custody decisions are always based on the child’s best interests. Our role is to ensure the court fully understands what arrangement best supports your children’s well-being.
Will one parent automatically get custody?
No. In New Jersey, both parents start with equal standing, and custody is not automatically awarded to one over the other. The court decides based on what serves the child’s best interests. Mr. Cohen advocates for what is best for you and your child.
How can I get a restraining order in New Jersey?
You can file a complaint at the Family Division of the Superior Court in the county where the incident occurred or where either party lives. A staff member will review your paperwork before a judge hears your case. If protection is needed outside of court hours, you can contact local police who will reach a judge on your behalf. Leonard Cohen helps clients navigate each step to ensure their safety and rights are protected.
Can mediation still work if there is a lot of conflict?
Yes. Mediation focuses on solutions rather than past disputes. Mr. Cohen creates space for both parties to be heard and steers families toward voluntary, lasting agreements.
