Family Law

Our firm regularly assists clients dealing with the following family law issues:
|
Divorce and civil union dissolution
No one should ever go through a divorce or civil union dissolution without the help of a compassionate attorney. At the Law Offices of Kelly Berton Rocco, we are here for you. We know what steps to take in your divorce or dissolution to create a smooth transition from one phase of your life to the next. We support you through post-divorce or dissolution family legal matters, including child custody disputes, child support modification and enforcement issues, and stepparent adoptions.
We want what is best for you and your family. Our lawyers strongly support and encourage open, civil communication to produce results as amicably as possible. In addition to saving you time and money, this approach also protects your children from the most negative aspects of a change in the family dynamic.
That said, we do not hesitate to take your case to court if your former spouse or partner is uncooperative, cruel, or antagonistic. Our attorneys aggressively pursue and protect your rights. We have extensive experience navigating the New Jersey justice system and are comfortable in a courtroom setting.
Domestic violence
Our firm takes a special interest in domestic violence and breaking the cycle of abuse. We help clients determine what type of charges to press and walk you through the process of filing for civil and/or criminal relief. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of state and federal laws and regulations regarding domestic violence, restraining orders, and abusive relationships, including the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991.
Attorney Kelly Berton Rocco has extensive experience working with victims of domestic violence. Kelly has volunteered for many different organizations and projects devoted to protecting women and children affected by domestic violence, including the Women's Rights Center and the Domestic Violence Legal Advocacy Project.
We also defend clients unfairly accused of domestic violence. People wrongfully accused of domestic violence can be thrown out of their homes and kept from their children before they have an opportunity to be heard. When the process is abused, families are hurt, the judicial system is tainted and true victims may not be believed in the future. We will vigorously defend our clients and do all we can to ensure that their rights are protected.
