  • Parental relocation: When a parent wants to move out of state with a child, there is a legal process that must be followed. There are also legal consequences for in-state relocations.
  • Child support: Howard can help you determine your and your spouse's child support obligations under New Jersey's guidelines.
  • Custody and visitation: New Jersey has a child-centered process for resolving custody and visitation, also known as parenting time.
  • Unmarried child support and visitation: Whether or not a child's parents are married, that child has the same right to child support and parenting time with both parents.
  • Domestic violence: Domestic violence cases have serious consequences that can be both sudden and long-lasting. Howard will represent either side in these cases.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Coming to an agreement about the structure of your marriage now can prevent conflict in the future.
