Focused on Effective Family Law Solutions
Legal problems rarely have just one cause or one solution. Most situations can be addressed several different ways. A lawyer with good judgment and experience can lead a client toward the best solutions and allow the client to choose. That is the approach we take at Cavalli & McCann, LLC.
We have a comprehensive family law practice, offering clients the legal counsel they need in a variety of legal matters. We represent clients in Bergen County and throughout northern New Jersey in cases that include:
- Divorce: Our lawyers represent clients in complex divorce litigation involving examination and valuation of assets and businesses. We also handle straightforward, uncontested divorces.
- Child custody: We help parents create a parenting plan with custody and visitation arrangements focused on the children's best interests.
- Spousal support and alimony: When a marriage ends, one spouse may be awarded spousal support to help the other maintain the lifestyle he or she was accustomed to during the marriage. We work with clients to determine if alimony will be awarded and in what amount.
- Property division and equitable distribution: Marital property should be divided equitably between the two parties. We help clients obtain their fair share and protect what belongs to them.
- Domestic violence and restraining orders: We work with clients to obtain and enforce restraining orders that were put in place because of domestic violence, and defend clients against unjustified domestic violence allegations.
- Domestic partnerships and same-sex marriage: Clients in domestic partnerships face similar legal challenges as those who are married, such as child custody and parenting time. We also assist same-sex couples with their legal challenges in an evolving area of law.
- Adoptions: Our attorneys represent clients in stepparent and grandparent adoptions, as well as other adoptions within the family. We also represent clients in private, non-relative adoptions.
- Post-judgment modifications: If your situation changes and an existing court order regarding child custody, parenting time or support is no longer equitable, we can determine whether the order can be modified and help you work toward that goal.
- Prenuptials and postnuptials: We work with clients to draft these agreements, ensuring that important items are addressed. From protecting assets prior to marriage to out-of-court agreements after divorce that address outstanding issues, we can help you.
- Grandparent and third-party rights: We represent grandparents, relatives and other third-parties who are interested in staying in contact with their grandchild after a divorce or other family law dispute.
