We are pro-parent

It used to be the norm that mothers were awarded full custody of the children in a divorce without question. The prevailing view has changed and now New Jersey courts try to do what is best for the children. We at Goldstein & Bachman consider ourselves pro-parent. We always represent the right side in a proceeding, regardless of the parent's gender. Sometimes joint or shared custody is the best choice; sometimes the right parent for full custody is the mother and sometimes it is the father. We recognize that nowadays many men are their children's primary caregivers and we have represented countless fathers who desired (and won) 50/50 shared custody. We understand the New Jersey family law system and we can make it work to your advantage.
