Divorce is more than the end of a marriage — it’s a major life transition that affects your home, finances, children, and emotional well-being. Whether your divorce is cooperative or contested, the way it is handled will directly impact your future stability.
At The Law Offices of Lakisha N. Dean, LLC in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, we work to protect your rights, secure your assets, and support the best interests of your children. Our goal is to guide you through the New Jersey divorce process with clarity, compassion, and strong legal advocacy — so you can move forward with confidence.
Uncertainty about finances – How will assets and debts be divided?
High-conflict disputes – When emotions run high, things can spiral into lengthy court battles.
Concerns about child custody – How will parental rights and visitation be determined?
Fear of the unknown – What if your ex has a lawyer, and you don’t?
Feeling overwhelmed – The divorce process can feel complex, exhausting, and confusing.
A bad divorce settlement can negatively impact you for years. Without the right legal guidance, you could lose out on financial security, child custody arrangements, and fair spousal support. That’s why you need a strong legal advocate who understands both the law and the emotional weight of divorce.

Not always. If both parties agree, a divorce can be finalized through mediation or settlement without court battles.
It depends. Uncontested divorces can be finalized in a few months, while contested divorces can take a year or longer.
Assets are divided based on equitable distribution, meaning the court considers fairness, not just a 50/50 split.
Alimony is awarded based on income, duration of marriage, and financial need.
