Domestic violence is a serious issue that can significantly impact the divorce process. Montclair Divorce Mediation® recognizes the intricacies that arise when domestic violence plays a role in the dissolution of a marriage. We aim to provide a safe, supportive, and effective mediation environment for all our clients.
Understanding Domestic Violence
Domestic violence comprises a range of abusive behaviors used by one companion to control another. It may encompass economic control, psychological intimidation, emotional abuse, and physical violence. Victims of domestic violence often face significant challenges, both during their marriage and when seeking a divorce. It can be challenging for victims to take the necessary steps toward ending the relationship due to financial dependency and fear of retribution from the abusive partner.
In New Jersey, domestic violence is recognized as a critical issue that can influence custody decisions, property division, and alimony. The state’s legal system offers protection to victims through restraining orders and other legal measures. However, navigating these legal options can be daunting without the right support and guidance
