Resolving Your High Profile Divorce in New Jersey
There are a number of ways to keep the details of a divorce proceeding from the public eye. Our lawyers have extensive experience in these divorce techniques that can keep the details of your marital breakup confidential:
Negotiation — Our attorneys can seek to negotiate an acceptable and fair resolution of matters involving property division, custody, child support and alimony. We can ask the judge to seal the details of the settlement when he or she issues the divorce decree.
Mediation — An independent mediator can be retained who will seek to achieve a mutually acceptable settlement in a private session.
Arbitration — An independent arbitrator can hear the case in a session closed to the public, essentially acting as a private judge.
The divorce decree itself will be a matter of public record. We can make an application to the court to see that your settlement remains private.
