Our Morristown, New Jersey family lawyers are dedicated to assisting clients with the needs of today’s families.

When individuals are confronted with divorce, concerns about money and children become acutely important. Our firm focuses on finding and implementing creative solutions to these and other concerns for our family law clients. We always try to reach the most satisfying outcome possible–both financially and emotionally–for clients and their families. Often, this means mediation and other alternative dispute resolution techniques.
That said, while some firms will only take your case if they think it will be settled out of court or if they expect the resolution will be a simple task, Leslie Law Firm is willing to fight for your interests both in and out of court. Speak with our family lawyers for comprehensive assistance today.
Here at Leslie Law Firm, we proudly represent clients who are facing a wide range of family law issues, including the following.
Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, our attorneys provide strong legal guidance at every stage. We help clients navigate property distribution, spousal support, and parenting time with a focus on protecting their best interests and achieving fair outcomes. We tailor strategies to your goals, whether that means mediation or litigation.
Alimony can have a lasting impact on your financial future. We work to ensure our clients receive or pay a fair amount by carefully evaluating income, lifestyle, and need. Whether you’re seeking support or challenging an unfair demand, we’re ready to advocate for your financial security.
Custody matters are emotionally charged and deeply personal. We guide parents through both legal and physical custody issues, working to establish parenting plans that support the well-being of the children while protecting your parental rights. We’re here to support your family’s future.
From calculating support obligations to enforcing or modifying existing orders, we make sure your child’s needs are met while ensuring the financial arrangements are fair. We handle support cases as part of larger divorce matters or as standalone concerns.
Dividing marital property can be one of the most contentious parts of divorce. We help clients identify, value, and divide assets equitably—whether those include real estate, investments, retirement accounts, or personal property. We fight to protect what matters most to you.
High asset divorces require a keen understanding of complex financial holdings. We work with forensic accountants and valuation experts to ensure all assets are properly accounted for—from business interests to luxury properties—while maintaining discretion and protecting your future.
Too often, fathers feel sidelined in family law disputes. We help fathers assert their legal rights when it comes to custody, visitation, and decision-making. Our team is committed to ensuring that fathers remain active, involved participants in their children’s lives.
Grandparents can play a vital role in a child’s life, and we help preserve those bonds. If you’ve been unfairly denied access to your grandchildren, we can help you pursue visitation rights that reflect the best interests of the child and your unique family circumstances.
For couples seeking a respectful, non-adversarial divorce process, collaborative divorce offers a path forward. We work closely with other professionals to negotiate fair outcomes without going to court, minimizing conflict while focusing on long-term family harmony.
Divorce arbitration offers a private, efficient alternative to court litigation. We represent clients through this process by presenting compelling arguments before an arbitrator who renders a binding decision. It’s a valuable option for clients seeking timely resolutions with less public exposure.
Our firm regularly helps clients resolve their divorce through mediation, a cooperative process that encourages open communication. We help you reach fair agreements on key issues—like custody and finances—while avoiding the cost and stress of courtroom battles.
We provide immediate, compassionate legal assistance to those experiencing domestic abuse. Whether you need a restraining order or defense against false allegations, we’re here to protect your safety, rights, and peace of mind every step of the way.
A well-drafted prenuptial agreement can prevent future conflicts and provide peace of mind. We help couples clearly define their financial rights and responsibilities before marriage so they can move forward with confidence and clarity.
Life changes—and so can the terms of your divorce. We help clients seek or contest modifications to custody, alimony, and support orders when circumstances shift. Whether due to a move, job loss, or change in income, we’re ready to help.
We proudly represent LGBTQ individuals and couples in all family law matters—from custody to relationship recognition. Our team understands the unique legal challenges faced by LGBTQ families and is committed to protecting your rights.
If you believe a court ruling in your family law case was incorrect or unjust, we can help you explore your appeal options. We handle appellate matters with care and precision, ensuring your voice continues to be heard at the next level.
The bottom line is that if you have any family law needs that require experienced legal assistance, you can depend on us to resolve your matter compassionately and effectively. Contact Leslie Law Firm today to schedule your free consultation with our seasoned legal team.
