Why Involve Adam Brown in Your Divorce?
Divorce does not have to be a battle. But if you don't assert yourself and protect your best interests, the outcome can leave you with strained finances, less time with your children than they need, and other difficulties. Adam Brown can help you navigate this process and emerge positioned for a bright future. Here are just a few reasons why clients throughout Middlesex County choose Adam Brown to represent them in their divorces:
He can protect your financial standing.
When two people build a life together, sacrifices are made. One spouse may put their career on hold to raise children or work to put their spouse through school.

He can protect your kids' best interests.
Adam Brown understands that above all else, you want your children to have the resources they need most to live fulfilling lives after your marriage ends: parenting time and financial support. As his client, you count on him to take careful measure of your children's needs to make sure that child support is sufficient, yet doesn't keep the paying parent from being able to give their children the time and attention they need. He will also work to make sure you get as much parenting time as possible.
He can maintain focus when you find it difficult.
At its core, a divorce is a legal process, but there is an emotional element at play that can't be denied. This can cloud judgment when it comes to making crucial decisions in a divorce. Adam Brown can maintain focus on what matters most: your best interests and those of your children. You can process the many emotional challenges of your divorce while Mr. Brown maintains an objective focus on achieving the very best outcome for you and your kids.

Divorce Mediation Mr. Brown Can Guide You to an Amicable Conclusion
Divorce does not have to involve a lengthy and contentious court battle. Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method in which you, your spouse, your attorneys, and a neutral third party called a mediator meet in an informal setting to negotiate. In simplest terms, the attorneys will negotiate all aspects of your divorce (alimony, child support, child custody, property division, etc.). If both parties can agree to a set of terms, the mediator will submit them to a judge for approval. In many cases, this process is faster, more affordable, and sets a tone of cooperation that can be especially beneficial when children are involved.
Mr. Brown is versed in helping clients reach beneficial outcomes through divorce mediation. He can help determine if this option is right for your situation, and work with your partner's counsel to coordinate mediation if it meets your needs.
Domestic Violence Making Sure DV Charges Have the Right Influence on Your Case
Domestic violence (DV) isn't just a crime punishable by fines and jail time; it can also have a serious effect on child custody, divorce, and other family law matters. Whether you are a victim of DV or have been accused of DV, you need an attorney who can make sure the incident is weighed justly when it comes to your family law dispute.
If You Are a Victim of Domestic Violence
Adam Brown can help you secure restraining orders and make sure that you and your children are safe. He can also advocate for changes in custody, a more generous property division agreement in your favor, and other legal action that can help you maintain your safety and move on toward a prosperous future.
If You Are Accused of Domestic Violence
Adam Brown is a family law attorney who can protect your rights in the face of these serious charges. DV is a crime deserving of harsh punishment, but the unfortunate truth is that false accusations can be used to gain leverage in family law matters. Mr. Brown can work to make certain that your side of the story is told and that justice is upheld.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law Matters
If you have questions about divorce, domestic violence, prenuptial agreements, or any other family law matter, the best way to get answers is to reach out to an attorney. For now, Adam C. Brown has provided answers to some of the most common questions clients ask about family law:
Is New Jersey a no-fault divorce state?
It's a hybrid divorce state, meaning you can choose to file either a no-fault or fault-based divorce. No-fault divorce is generally preferred in New Jersey, but a fault-based divorce may be justified in some cases, such as if your spouse is incarcerated, has had a substance problem lasting longer than a year, or has committed adultery. While a fault-based divorce could influence certain decisions about alimony and property division, it's important to understand it could also create a more difficult atmosphere for your children. Adam C. Brown can help you weigh your options during a consultation.
How do I file for divorce?
First, consult our family law attorney in Middlesex County, NJ. He can provide valuable insight and help you understand the scope of the situation. After that discussion, if you decide to move forward, there are several forms you will need to complete and submit, along with a filing fee of $300 if you do not have children with your spouse, or $325 if you have children. You must then serve the paperwork to your spouse within 60 days, and they will have 35 days to respond.
How long does a divorce take?
Depending on the specifics of your case, a divorce can take a few months to more than a year.
How long does a parent have to make child support payments?
One parent must typically pay child support until the child is 19, but there are some exceptions. For example, if a child has a disability or is attending post-secondary education full-time (under age 23), child support obligations may last longer. However, if a child becomes emancipated, gets married, or joins the military, child support will stop before age 18.
Is domestic violence a felony?
It can be, depending on the specific act in question, any prior acts of domestic violence, and your criminal history.
How do I get a restraining order?
If you have suffered domestic violence, a restraining order can prevent future incidents. The first step is to file for a restraining order with the Superior Court. A judge will review the request and decide whether to issue a temporary restraining order. A formal hearing will follow, in which the judge will decide whether to issue a final restraining order. Again, having a family law attorney in your corner throughout every step of this process can be instrumental in helping you reach the outcome that will benefit you and your family the most.
