Practice Areas
Our team is led by Sylvia S. Costantino, who is certified by the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney. Sylvia Costantino believes that there is almost no divorce case that cannot be settled amicably, and she and her team approach each case from this perspective.
There are two types of divorces; uncontested and contested. If you are separating but are amicable with your spouse, you may be able to go through the uncontested process. Although some couples are able to complete a divorce without going to court, others require litigation to resolve disputes. If tensions are high and animosity exists, then the divorce will be contested. This means that litigation or processes such as mediation, will likely need to be part of the process to resolve your matter.
As of 2007, the State of New Jersey is a “no-fault” state. This means that a person can seek a divorce based on irreconcilable differences where there has been a breakdown of the marriage for a period of six months or more, there is no prospect of reconciliation, and it is unreasonable for the parties to continue to live together as husband and wife. Other causes of action based on fault can be included in your Complaint, i.e. adultery, extreme cruelty, desertion, addiction/habitual drunkenness, imprisonment etc.
