Domestic relations and family law is very specialized and complex because it demands proficiency in legal skills, psychology and counseling abilities. It takes years of dedicated focus, development of legal knowledge, experience in and out of the court room, and, most importantly, the right “family lawyer DNA”, which can’t be acquired through general practice.

As a former matrimonial judge in New York State Supreme Court, I am uniquely qualified to mediate your divorce. I combine the knowledge and expertise in all areas of matrimonial and family law with the skills and temperament of a trained mediator.

My expertise extends to all areas of matrimonial law including child custody and support, spousal maintenance (alimony), equitable distribution of property and debt, parental decision making and parenting plans for children. I have published numerous decisions in the field of matrimonial law and presided over high profile divorce cases. I am known not only for my expertise in divorce law but also for my calm disposition and compassion.

Divorce mediation can be a successful alternative to adversarial divorce litigation. There are many advantages to divorce mediation. It is confidential and conducted in a safe private environment. It costs far less than divorce litigation and takes far less time.

It enables couples themselves to decide all issues involved in the dissolution of a marriage. As a former judge, I can explain to you the court process and the potential outcomes of a case in court. This information provides you with a better understanding of your choices in mediation. At the conclusion of a successful mediation, I can draft your Separation Agreement which will deal with all the unique issues of your divorce which you have agreed upon, and which is included as part of your uncontested divorce papers.

Areas of Practice:

APPEALS
Following a decision, a party may not be satisfied with the result and may want to appeal.

We are adept at making strong legal arguments with a persuasive writing style.

CHILD SUPPORT
At Greenblatt Law, we are dedicated to assisting you in legal manners that will best help your family. We offer legal assistance with child support decisions, including initial child support negotiations during a divorce, post-judgment child support changes, and even child support appeals.

COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE
Collaborative Law is a alternative dispute resolution process where both parties and their collaboratively trained counsel commit themselves to resolving their issues out of court through a series of four-way meetings. While the collaborative process is similar to the negotiated settlement model of dispute resolution, it is unique in several ways.

DIVORCE LITIGATION
Sometimes a case must be litigated to reach resolution. Divorce litigation is a way that a case will proceed if clients are unable to resolve their differences through mediation, collaborative law or negotiation.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Unfortunately, domestic violence continues to be prevalent in our society and often plays a large role in divorce and custody cases.

Cost-efficiency harmonizes with positive results at Capehart Scatchard. The firm staffs client matters according to task, utilizing shareholders and associates when appropriate to deliver the best product and service in an economical, reliable, and sensible manner. Capehart Scatchard avoids needless paperwork and procedures, concentrating instead on charting smart, direct courses of actions, which lay solid case foundations.

Founded in 1876, Capehart Scatchard is one of the oldest law firms, and oldest businesses, in New Jersey. A full-service, diversified law firm of more than 80 attorneys practicing in offices throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, Capehart Scatchard diligently serves the transaction and litigation needs of insurance companies, banks, large and small businesses, public entities, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, governments, entrepreneurs, and individuals.

Our practice focuses on divorce, child custody and support, post-judgment enforcement actions, property distribution and spousal support in addition to prenuptial, postnuptial and cohabitation agreements. We put all our years of experience and judicial process expertise at the disposal of our clients. We strategize with them, oftentimes devising ways to “win” in negotiations and use the power of the Court most effectively to move the process along or resolve specific issues.

Our approach is to educate and explain the options to our clients, so they understand what their choices will mean going forward. The key to a successful divorce is making well-informed practical decisions. Often the emotional aspects of divorce take over and parties lose sight of the benefits of an efficient end to their disputes. We believe couples should try to resolve as many issues as they can between themselves. Only when negotiations fail do we recommend aggressive litigation.

We view divorce as a positive step for couples who see going their separate ways as a better direction for their lives. By focusing on their needs and desires, we can better understand their goals. This helps us to obtain the results they want on the issues that are most important to them.
