FAQ Answers to Questions about Civil Litigation
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey. Missing this deadline can permanently prevent you from recovering compensation. Certain situations, such as claims against government entities, may have much shorter notice periods. Adam Brown ensures your case stays on schedule, filing all required paperwork promptly so you can focus on recovery while your rights remain fully protected.
How long will it take to get a divorce?
A contested divorce in New Jersey (meaning spouses can’t agree on issues like custody, support, or property division) can take well over a year, sometimes closer to two. The timeline depends on the complexity of the disputes and the court’s schedule. Adam Brown works to resolve your case efficiently, using negotiation and strategic preparation to reduce delays, while making sure your interests are fully protected.
How long does it take to complete a bankruptcy case in New Jersey?
Most Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases in New Jersey are completed within four to six months, while Chapter 13 repayment plans typically last three to five years. The timeline depends on factors like the type of bankruptcy, the court’s schedule, and whether creditors raise objections. Adam Brown helps you stay organized, meet every deadline, and navigate the process efficiently so you can achieve financial relief and move forward with confidence.
How do you file a restraining order?
During court hours on weekdays, you can apply for a restraining order at the Family Division of the Superior Court. Outside of those hours, your local police department can connect you with a judge by phone for an emergency order. Adam Brown can guide you through every step, ensuring your paperwork is complete, deadlines are met, and your rights are protected, whether you need protection or are defending against an order.
How is child custody determined in New Jersey?
If parents can agree on a custody arrangement, courts usually approve it. When they can’t, mediation, arbitration, or a court hearing may be required. Judges decide based on the child’s best interests, considering testimony, guardian reports, and evidence. Adam Brown helps you present a clear, compelling case, focusing on what will provide your child with the most stability and security.
How is child support calculated in New Jersey?
The state uses guidelines that consider both parents’ incomes, custody schedules, healthcare costs, and other expenses. The process is detailed and often requires precise documentation. Adam Brown ensures your calculations are accurate and that all credits, such as medical costs or childcare, are applied so the outcome is fair for you and your children.
How are alimony amounts determined?
There’s no fixed formula in New Jersey. Courts weigh multiple factors like the length of the marriage, income differences, lifestyle during the marriage, and each spouse’s earning potential. Adam Brown builds strong arguments backed by evidence to secure a fair arrangement whether you’re seeking support or contesting an unfair request.
