Why Retain a Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney?

Certified matrimonial law attorney is a designation granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court to attorneys who are able to demonstrate appreciable levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skills in matrimonial law practice. The Supreme Court designates only those lawyers who apply for certification and who are able to meet the standards set by the Board and approved by the Court.

A certified attorney is more than just an attorney who specializes in a particular area of law. A New Jersey attorney who is certified by the Supreme Court as a matrimonial law attorney must have:

  • Been a member in good standing of the New Jersey bar for over five years
  • Fulfilled ongoing continuing legal education requirements
  • Demonstrated a substantial level of experience in matrimonial law
  • Been favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with his or her work
  • Taken and passed a written examination in matrimonial law

Collaborative law engages both parties to achieve an out-of-court agreement on property, child custody, and all terms of divorce. Whereas mediation involves a neutral third party to referee disputes, in collaborative divorce each person retains his or her own trusted lawyer. Though not binding on clients, the attorneys are ethically obliged to bow out if either client decides to go to court. In that case, you would have to hire a new attorney. Collaborative family law can also involve psychologists and other professionals to ensure that the best interests of children are considered.
