New Jersey families facing divorce and custody disputes are running into increasingly complex legal and emotional challenges that can impact their children's wellbeing and financial security for years to come.
Experienced family law attorney Eric B. Hannum, Esq., with over 20 years serving New Jersey residents through The Law Office of Eric B. Hannum, Esq. LLC, addresses these critical family protection needs through comprehensive divorce mediation, collaborative family law, and parenting coordination services.
Operating from Manasquan at the Summit Corporate Center, Hannum's practice focuses on helping families navigate difficult transitions while prioritizing children's best interests and preserving family relationships wherever possible.
The most pressing concern for New Jersey families is managing divorce and custody proceedings without causing lasting damage to children or losing family resources through prolonged litigation. Many families find themselves trapped in long court battles that escalate conflict, drain savings, and create lasting emotional damage for all family members, especially children.
"We're seeing families who believe court is their only option, but litigation often makes difficult situations worse," said Hannum. "Divorce doesn't have to destroy families. Through mediation and collaborative approaches, we can help parents focus on their children's needs while reaching fair agreements that preserve dignity and financial resources."
Today, New Jersey families face unique divorce challenges. Complex asset divisions involving retirement accounts, business investments, and real estate require careful planning to avoid costly mistakes. Child custody arrangements must accommodate busy work schedules, multiple residences, and changing family dynamics. Many parents struggle with communication breakdowns that affect co-parenting relationships long after divorce is finalized.
New Jersey's family court system, while thorough, can create additional stress with scheduling delays and formal procedures that may not suit every family's needs. This makes alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation and collaborative divorce increasingly valuable for families seeking more control over their outcomes.
"Family law has become more sophisticated in recognizing that one size doesn't fit all," Hannum observed. "Every family has unique circumstances, and the legal approach should match those needs. Whether through mediation, collaboration, or traditional representation, our goal is protecting children while helping parents move forward with their lives."
