Toms River Lawyers Handle a Wide Range of Family Concerns

New Jersey attorneys handle divorces and custody matters

Family law concerns are unlike other types of legal matters. In most other disputes, the parties go their separate ways once the case is finalized. However, you and the people closest to you might be living with the consequences of a family law case for many years to come. This is why it is so important to use care when hiring an attorney. Rehrer & Rehrer Attorneys at Law in Toms River exclusively practices family law for clients in Ocean County and other parts of South Jersey. For more than 25 years, we have delivered exceptional advice and advocacy to clients going through divorces, custody conflicts and other situations requiring strong legal representation.  

Skillful representation during marriage dissolution proceedings

No one looks forward to a divorce, but we are dedicated to helping clients tackle the legal challenges while pursuing favorable terms relating to the following matters:   

• Child custody — During child custody negotiations, we strive to develop a parenting plan that promotes healthy cooperation and gives young people the best chance to thrive. 
• Child support — Each parent has a legal and moral responsibility to help meet the needs of their son or daughter. Our attorneys work to see that child support orders fairly reflect the circumstances. 
• Alimony — If alimony is an issue in your divorce, we’ll advise if spousal support is warranted and advocate for the result you seek.  
• Property division — Under New Jersey law, property division is determined based on the principle of equitable distribution, which means that the judge decides what is a fair allocation of assets and debts if the parties cannot come to an agreement. This will not necessarily be an equal split.

By delivering effective advice and advocacy in marriage dissolution proceedings, we have earned a strong reputation in Ocean County and the surrounding areas.

Firm assists with adoptions, paternity disputes, domestic violence cases and other issues

Family law encompasses more than divorce. Our attorneys assist clients with a full range of legal issues that include:

• Adoption — When you welcome a child into your home and assume the role of parent, you want to ensure that your rights are protected. We perform the due diligence necessary to legally validate your stepparent, grandparent, same-sex parent or agency adoption.
• Domestic violence and stalking — We help threatened and battered clients get the legal protection they need. We also represent alleged abusers asserting their rights to due process.
• Child Protection and Permanency controversies — We counsel parents during interactions with CP&P (formerly DYFS) to ensure the state does not violate their parental rights.
• Paternity — Actions to determine paternity are often necessary in child custody or child support disputes, or when a birth mother wants to free a child for adoption. We represent birth mothers and putative fathers in paternity suits.
• Prenuptial agreements — Property concerns can put undue stress on a relationship. We help couples memorialize their property rights prior to marriage, and during a marriage when there has been a substantial change in their financial circumstances.

Whatever your family law issue is, you can trust Rehrer & Rehrer to diligently pursue the best result possible for you and your family. We deliver dedicated, personalized service from the moment you enter our office through the completion of your case. 

Helping you navigate the family law system

No one enjoys resolving intimate family matters in court, but sometimes, that is the only way to achieve the resolution you seek. New Jersey’s court system can be complicated, and failing to follow the rules could have serious consequences. Our attorneys explain each element of your case clearly, so you know what to expect. We draft legal documents with the highest degrees of skill and professionalism and make sure they are filed in a timely manner.
