By following the ABCs — Acknowledge, Balance, and Communicate — parents can protect their child’s security, maintain healthy bonds, and model cooperation during the transition of divorce.

For confidential legal guidance in your divorce or custody matter, request a consultation today.

“Child-centred divorce” is a phrase you may hear often, but what does it really mean? Beyond being a catchy concept, it reflects a powerful mindset — one that places your child’s health, happiness, and stability at the heart of every choice you make during divorce.

In New Jersey, judges, mediators, and family law attorneys all emphasize the best interests of the child when determining custody, support, and parenting time. But being “child-centred” goes beyond this legal requirement; it’s a conscious parenting approach that helps children feel secure even when the family dynamic changes.

Here’s how to put that philosophy into practice, step by step, using the ABCs. Read more

Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban Divorce: Are “Sobriety Clause” Prenups Enforceable in New Jersey?

TLDR: Prenup Sobriety Clauses


Nicole Kidman’s divorce from Keith Urban has renewed interest in their prenuptial agreement and its rumored “sobriety clause,” which allegedly ties Urban’s financial settlement to his sobriety from cocaine, alcohol and other drugs. Would such a clause stand in New Jersey? Likely not. New Jersey courts generally reject prenup terms that regulate personal behavior, morality, or custody, viewing them as unenforceable. To remain valid and enforceable under New Jersey law, a prenup should focus on financial issues only, including assets, debts, and alimony.

For confidential legal guidance on your prenup, Request A Consultation Today.

Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban after nearly two decades of marriage, and now attention is once again turning to a “sobriety clause” in their long-rumored prenuptial agreement.

According to multiple reports, the couple’s prenup includes a clause that ties Keith Urban’s post-divorce financial support to his sobriety. Specifically, in the divorce settlement, Urban allegedly receives around $600,000 for each year of marriage in which he remained sober from cocaine and alcohol.

While neither Kidman nor Urban has ever confirmed the existence of these terms, their prenup still raises an intriguing legal question: if their divorce were happening in New Jersey, would a “sobriety clause” in a couple’s prenup still hold up in court? Read more

Rehabilitative Alimony: What Happens When a Stay-at-Home Parent Needs To Re-Enters the Workforce After Divorce?

While this choice often benefits the family, it can leave the stay-at-home parent financially vulnerable if the marriage ends. Questions quickly arise: Will my spouse be required to provide alimony? Will the court expect me to support myself right away? How can I find work when my skills feel outdated?

In New Jersey, the answers depend on several factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial circumstances, and the dependent spouse’s ability to return to work. One option that often comes into play for stay-at-home parents is rehabilitative alimony. Read more
