Protecting Your Rights As You Move Forward in Your Life
Strictly speaking, legal separation does not exist in New Jersey. However, there is an alternative for couples who are no longer compatible but still want to remain married.
At the Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, we provide representation for people who wish to separate and obtain what is known as a "divorce from bed and board." We negotiate separation agreements that resolve outstanding issues such as property division, spousal support and child care, in positive ways that enable the spouses to go their own ways.
If you are interested in obtaining a separation agreement, contact the Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, to schedule a consultation with a lawyer.

Our goal will be to achieve a workable and fair settlement that protects your rights and enables you to move forward in your life.
New Jersey Asset and Debt Distribution Attorneys
One of the most important steps during a separation is to divide the couple's assets and debts. This task generally becomes more difficult the longer a marriage has lasted, when the separate property each spouse has brought into the marriage becomes commingled and combined with assets acquired during the marriage. Our property division attorneys are skilled at tracing the transformations of separate assets. We will apply our skills and knowledge to protect your rights and achieve fair results for you.
