Custody and support issues can quickly become contentious, leading to conflict, resentment, and frustration.  - [Is New Jersey a Community Property State?](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/is-nj-community-property-state/): New Jersey is not a community property state. Instead, the state follows an equitable distribution system in which property acquired during the marriage is distributed fairly, though not necessarily equally, in a divorce.

In some cases, a “nesting partner arrangement” or bird’s nest agreement may be beneficial. Nesting custody arrangements allow the children to stay in the family home while each parent rotates in and out for their designated visitation time. Nesting can help to ease an already stressful situation, but it may not be the best strategy for every family. - [Death and Divorce in New Jersey Family Law: Planning for the Unthinkable ](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/death-and-divorce-in-new-jersey-family-law-planning-for-the-unthinkable/): In Family Law, death is rarely part of the initial conversation. Clients focus on divorce, support, custody, and equitable distribution, often assuming, implicitly, that both parties will live long enough for the legal process to run its course. Practitioners, likewise, may concentrate on the immediate financial and parenting issues before the Court, giving little attention to how death might alter those rights.

Many people believe that Courts favor the mother, usually granting full custody or at least primary custody to her over the father. In New Jersey, however, the Courts treat mothers and fathers equally in custody battles. Recent amendments to the law, further solidify that parents should be treated equally and emphasize shared parenting when it comes to custody arrangements.

People have life insurance, health insurance, etc. Why does insuring a union that ends in demise 50% of the time have such a negative connotation? There are many benefits to a prenup, and they are not just for celebrities or the ultra-rich. In fact, prenups are an important tool for anyone with premarital property, a business, or children. They help to promote transparency, set realistic expectations, and ensure that both parties are protected. - [Top 7 Causes of Divorce in New Jersey](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/top-7-causes-of-divorce-in-new-jersey/): Divorce is a word few people like to talk about, but the reality is that a large number of marriages still end in dissolution.

On Governor Phil Murphy’s last day, he did just that by signing into law S4510, which amended N.J.S.A 9:2-4.

She made me feel relieved because she and her staff were very supportive, patient ( especially when I needed many things thoroughly explained), kind and knowledgeable. No question was viewed as a ridiculous one. They recognized how a divorce truly interrupts your whole life in so many different ways. They had made a difficult transition seem much smoother than I expected. She truly had my best interest and that of my children first and foremost throughout this harrowing ordeal. I felt that she guided me in the correct direction when making major decisions for my new life.

Her invoices made sense and I felt like it was money well spent." - [ Jaime Y.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/jaime-y/): "I cannot say enough good things about Rozin-Golinder Law. I had been hesitant to go forward with attorneys as I had a very bad experience in the past with a lawyer whose only interest was getting money and zero results. My first meeting with Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder put all of my reservations aside. She actually cared about my situation and what was in my children’s best interest. She was honest from day one and explained my case would be difficult and that she could not make any guarantees, but felt we had a strong case, was familiar with the Judge and the Family Court that my case was heard in, which is extremely important. With the expertise and hard work of Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder, and Alyssa Bartholomew, Rozin-Golinder Law was able to successfully file a motion resulting in a court order granting everything we were requesting. I could not be happier with the decision to retain Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder, and would not hesitate to utilize their services for any future needs. For anyone else going through a high conflict custody dispute / divorce / post separation dispute I highly recommend Rozin-Golinder law. Elizabeth and Alyssa are absolutely amazing!" - [Michael R.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/michael-r/): "I had an excellent experience with Rozin-Golinder Law.

I read other client comments and I truly agree with them she is an Exceptional attorney who has helped me to get my kids back to NJ, then got my TRO dismissed in a full blown FRO trial and represented me in my divorce case too. My case was extensively litigious and very volatile. The way Elizabeth handled it was TERRIFIC. She is one of the Attorneys who does not want unnecessary litigation unless the opposing party doesn't want to settle and keeps litigating and we had to go through it. She knows the LAW and very often she is able to read the Judge's mind which I have witnessed in the court order." - [Lynette D.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/lynette-d/): "Elizabeth has been representing our family for over a year now in a very sad and complicated custody case that involves the protection of my step daugter. It was a case where the original custody was out of another state. From the day we retained her she's been a godsend. Her motions and arguments reflect the personal interest she takes in every client. She's direct, honest, and very realistic. She's taken us through the temporary emergency custody process...the permanent custody process...and now the child support and contested custody process. She was instrumental in getting the jurisdiction of the child's custody granted to NJ. She has always prepared us for the worst yet we walked out with what we needed to happen each and every time. She's still fighting for this child through this last phase. Elizabeth is a true child advocate it's been apparent since day one. You never know what judges are going to decide but Elizabeth knows the laws, she knows the court room game, she develops a strategy and in my family's eyes she's a top notch attorney. I know one day soon she will climb to the ranks of one of the most powerful family attorneys in this state if she isn't alreay there.

That's all she needed, as sharp as she is, surprised it took her that long, Ha. This is a person that reminded me that there is a lot of good in this world. If anyone were to read this, I want to assure you that she will exhaust every opportunity and resource to get the job done accordingly.

With my first marriage around the corner, my first child on the way and preparing for my first mobilization, it was an amazing feeling to have something I feared and was very very uncertain of, turn out for the best. Thank you is most certainly an understatement but for the sake of expression..... THANK YOU. You definitely have a client for life. Two thumbs up LIZ!!!" - [Paul H.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/paul-h/): "The team at Rozin Golinder Law handled my difficult divorce with a great deal of professionalism and with a very human and personal touch. It was comforting to speak to them and they took time to explain what was going on in the process. They made sure my best interests were covered and gave me invaluable legal advice and guidance. Elizabeth Rozin Golinder in particular helped me greatly throughout the process, acting as my sounding board and advisor. Her strategic decisions were spot on as things played out for the most part how she laid it out for me. I would recommend Rozin Golinder to anyone looking for sound professional legal attorneys focused on serving their client’s best interests and getting "the best outcome in a difficult situation." - [Joseph B.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/joseph-b/): "Top tier treatment. Cannot say enough to justify the level of professionalism and respect I received from everyone at this firm from beginning to end of my matter. Thanks so much." - [Deborah M.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/deborah-m/): "Elizabeth is an Excellent Family Lawyer. She recently represented me with my divorce and I'm very happy with the outcome. She was very professional, as well as personable. She made me feel at ease through the process and assured me that she would look out for my best interest; and she certainly did. She helped make a difficult decision go very smoothly. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for family law services. Thank you Elizabeth for your services and compassion with my case." - [ Ed M.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/ed-m/): "Elizabeth was the third attorney that I interviewed and the first one that I retained. It was my first experience with the divorce process and she put my mind at ease. Her expertise with NJ divorce law guided me during the tumultuous time. In addition to her technical expertise, I greatly appreciated her candor and professionalism. I greatly enjoyed working with Elizabeth and the entire team at Rozin Golinder Law. The best advice I ever received from a family member was 'see an attorney'. If you are even THINKING about a possible divorce, I strongly recommend that you to contact Elizabeth immediately." - [Parrish B.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/parrish-b/): "BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO Yes, I am shouting and clapping. My very smart and outstanding attorney Alyssa Bartholomew did an Excellent job in the handling of my divorce. This Law Firm has a high rating (5 star) because they deserve it, wish I could give them a 10. Miss, Bartholomew was punctual and thorough at every hearing (unlike the Adversaries lawyer) and left no stone unturned. I also liked the fact that she and her wonderful team stayed in touch with me through out this process to make sure I took care of business on my end. You want an Excellent Attorney? You want to win your case with dignity and honor? Call Alyssa Bartholomew, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Alyssa 🏆" - [Jennifer B.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/jennifer-b/): "Can’t say enough great things about my experience with this great team of lawyers. Attorney Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder initially sat down with me for a very thorough consultation. She did not make me feel like I was taking her time but she gave me her knowledge as best she could all with sincerity. Situations where we need a lawyer are never easy and with this great team I felt good, I was being guided in the right direction and completely informed of everything throughout the process . Every situation is of course different and has different needs but she gave me her honesty in what her expertise was and even referred me to speak with some of her colleagues. Knowing that my personal situation was going to take multiple visits to a court room she understood my situation and referred me to Alyssa Bartholomew who is part of her firm. I highly recommend her! I was more than comfortable in the skill level of Alyssa. All of our interactions she was so pleasant and informative. She put a lot of work into my case but she was equally kind and sincere as she was smart and strong. Anyone to have either or both of these women on your side are in good hands. If I ever need anything in the future there is no question I will use this law firm and refer anyone who may need a lawyer in the future. Thank you ladies for making a complicated and hard situation that much easier, I have so much gratitude towards you!!" - [Robert S.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/robert-s/): "Extremely happy with this law firm and working with Francesca Buarne. She would respond quickly with any questions or concerns I asked for. Even though it was a small but important case they never leave you feeling left behind. I would highly recommend this firm and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed. Thank you Francesca" - [Katerina K.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/katerina-k/): "Had a very good experience working through my divorce process with Francesca Buarne. She demonstrated high professionalism, knowledge and support!" - [Luna S.](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/testimonials/luna-s/): "It was an honor working with the firm, I had a complicated case that took about 4 years. Francesca Buarne was very helpful, she took her time to explain everything and answer all my questions. After leaving an abusive marriage my main concern was to get full custody of my child. Francesca was able to do that for me. Now my daughter and I are safe and I have her under my care completely. I hope any woman who is going through the same situation to take this step and to trust this firm!" ## Awards - [Super Lawyers](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/super-lawyers/) - [Best Lawyers – Ones to Watch](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-07/) - [Best Law Firms – By Best Lawyers](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-06/) - [Best Lawyers](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-05/) - [Super Lawyers Rising Stars](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-04/) - [New Jersey Supreme Court Certified Attorney](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-03/) - [Middlesex County Bar Association](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/awards-02/) - [Legal Aid Society – Monmouth County](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/blog/awards/award-01/) ## Practice Areas - [Alimony](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/alimony/) - [Annulment](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/annulment/) - [Postnuptial Agreements](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/postnuptial-agreements/) - [Prenuptial Agreements](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/prenuptial-agreements/) - [Domestic Violence](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/domestic-violence/) - [Child Support](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-support/) - [Child Custody](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-custody/) - [Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/divorce/) - [Child Support](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/monmouth-county-family-law/child-support/) - [Shrewsbury Family Law](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/shrewsbury-family-law/) - [Mediation](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/monmouth-county-family-law/mediation/) - [Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/monmouth-county-family-law/divorce/) - [Child Custody](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/monmouth-county-family-law/child-custody/) - [Monmouth County Family Law](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/monmouth-county-family-law/) - [Mediation](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/middlesex-county-family-law/mediation/) - [Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/middlesex-county-family-law/divorce/) - [Child Custody](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/middlesex-county-family-law/child-custody/) - [Middlesex County Family Law](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/middlesex-county-family-law/) - [Refinance Closings Lawyer](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/real-estate/refinance-closings-lawyer/) - [Criminal Defense](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/criminal-defense/) - [Residential Real Estate Closings](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/real-estate/residential-real-estate-closings/) - [Real Estate](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/real-estate/) - [Wills](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/estates/wills/) - [Trusts](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/estates/trusts/) - [Probate](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/estates/probate/) - [Estates](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/other-practice-areas/estates/) - [Mediation](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/mediation/) - [Same Sex Marriages](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/same-sex-marriages/) - [Modification of Alimony](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/post-judgment-modifications/modification-of-alimony/) - [Parental Alienation](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/parental-alienation/) - [Post-Judgment Modifications](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/post-judgment-modifications/) - [Grandparents Rights](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/grandparents-rights/) - [Restraining Orders](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/domestic-violence/restraining-orders/) - [Division of Assets and Debts](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/division-of-assets-and-debts/) - [Contested Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/divorce/contested-divorce/) - [Grounds for Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/divorce/grounds-for-divorce/) - [High Net Worth Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/divorce/high-net-worth-divorce/) - [Military Divorce](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/divorce/military-divorce/) - [College Expenses](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-support/college-expenses/) - [Child Relocation](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-relocation/) - [Visitation Rights](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-custody/visitation-rights/) - [Guardian Ad Litem](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-custody/guardian-ad-litem/) - [Reimbursement Alimony](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/alimony/reimbursement-alimony/) - [Permanent Alimony](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/alimony/permanent-alimony/) - [Child Abduction](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/child-abduction/) - [Family Law](https://www.rgfamilylaw.com/family-law/) ## Team - [Misty A.V.
