Facing a divorce in Hackensack or Bergen County and worried about alimony?
Whether you’re the one paying or receiving, the stakes are high. The wrong outcome can affect your finances for years. You need more than general legal advice — you need an alimony lawyer who knows how our local courts make decisions and who can push for the best possible deal.
At The Davies Law Firm, we focus on helping clients in Hackensack and Bergen County protect their rights, secure fair spousal support, and move forward with financial stability.
Why You Need an Alimony Lawyer Who Knows Hackensack Courts
In New Jersey, alimony isn’t decided by a strict formula. Instead, judges apply discretion across several statutory factors. These include:
- Length of the marriage
- Income and earning capacity of each spouse
- Age and health of both parties
- Standard of living established during the marriage
- Contributions to the household, including parenting or career sacrifices
- Parental responsibilities for minor children
- Time and expense needed to gain employment or education
Because these factors are broad, they’re open to interpretation — and how they’re presented can make or break your case.
Local advantage: We’ve argued alimony cases in the very courtrooms you may appear in. We understand how Bergen County judges approach spousal support — including the nuances they prioritize, the evidence they expect, and how to avoid procedural missteps that can delay your case or weaken your position.
If you want a lawyer who understands the local rules and the human side of alimony disputes, call (201) 820-3460 or book a consultation online today.
What We Do for You — Step by Step
When you hire The Davies Law Firm for your alimony case, we:
- Start with a deep-dive consultation — We examine your financial records, family background, career history, and future goals.
- Determine the right type of alimony — Whether you’re seeking or contesting open durational, limited duration, rehabilitative, or reimbursement alimony, we’ll guide you through what makes the most sense for your situation.
- Gather and prepare persuasive evidence — From income statements to lifestyle analyses and expert evaluations, we build a case grounded in fact, not assumptions.
- Push for a fair settlement first — We’re strategic negotiators who aim to resolve disputes out of court when possible — saving you time, stress, and cost.
- Litigate fiercely if needed — If your case must go before a judge, we go in prepared, with clear arguments and well-documented evidence.
- Handle post-judgment modifications — Life changes. If your income drops or circumstances shift, we’ll help you seek or defend against alimony modifications in court.
Best of all, every part of your case is handled directly by attorney Robert Davies — no hand-offs to junior associates, no surprises.
Protecting Your Financial Future — For Payors and Recipients
We work with both sides of alimony cases.
If you’re seeking alimony:
We’ll make a strong, fact-driven case for your need for support — including duration, amount, and any special considerations based on your contributions during the marriage. We work to ensure your future is protected, especially if you sacrificed career opportunities or income to raise a family or support a spouse’s ambitions.
If you’re facing alimony payments:
We’ll scrutinize every demand for accuracy and fairness. We challenge inflated needs, expose unsupported claims, and argue for a manageable, realistic obligation that reflects your actual financial ability and your legal rights.
The law is the same for everyone, but the strategy is different. We tailor our approach to your goals. Don’t wait until you’re already in court to get legal help. Start your case on the right foot — schedule a strategy session now.
