A friend recommended Graziano & Flynn for my divorce settlement, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I had the pleasure of working with Robyn and her entire team, and I always felt confident in their hands. Robyn was incredibly supportive and readily available whenever I needed assistance.

The Family Law Matters We Handle

Most cases bring more than one of these issues to the table at once, and we manage them together rather than in isolation.

Divorce Representation

The first weeks of a divorce feel the least steady. We settle the urgent pieces first, who lives where, how bills get paid, and where the children stay, so the rest of the case has solid footing.

Parenting Time & Custody

A handoff between Maple Shade and a new apartment in Pennsauken has to work around school, activities, and two jobs. We build custody and parenting time plans around the week your family actually lives.

Child Support

The child support number reflects more than a paycheck. New Jersey’s Child Support Guidelines weigh parenting time, childcare, health coverage, and overtime, so we get that picture right before anything is signed.

Spousal Support & Alimony

Many Maple Shade households rent or carry a modest mortgage, so the real question is whether one income can keep a home. We set alimony alongside the monthly budget so the result is something you can carry.

Homes, Property & Debt

Maple Shade home values run well below neighboring Moorestown and Cherry Hill, which makes buyout math tight. We value the home, retirement accounts, and debts before they are divided under New Jersey’s equitable distribution rules.

Domestic Violence & Restraining Orders

A temporary restraining order can be requested from the Family Division in Mount Holly or, after hours, through the Maple Shade Police Department. The final hearing follows about ten days later, and we help you gather the evidence the court will weigh.

Modifications & Enforcement

A job change, a relocation, or a shift in a child’s needs can justify revisiting custody or support. We also step in when an existing order is simply being ignored.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

A prenup or postnup holds up best when terms are set calmly, before any conflict. It is worth considering for a second marriage, a business, inherited property, or assets either person brings in.

Your Options for Divorce in New Jersey

The right path depends mostly on how much you and your spouse already agree on.

No-Fault Divorce

Most couples file on irreconcilable differences that have lasted at least six months, which keeps blame out of it. That lowers the temperature, but it does not settle parenting, support, or property on its own. Those still need clear, written terms.

Uncontested Divorce

When you agree on the substance, the work is precise drafting. Refinance deadlines, payment dates, account transfers, and debt responsibilities all need exact wording, because the loose phrase you accept now is the enforcement fight you have later.

Mediation

Mediation fits couples who want to avoid a courtroom but still need a neutral structure to reach terms. When parents disagree on custody, the court also refers them to free parenting time mediation early in the case. We prepare you for both, so your interests hold up at the table.

Contested Divorce

Some cases stay genuinely disputed over custody, support, or finances, and those call for a firmer hand. Early organization keeps the case from spreading into a fight on every front at once.

When a Maple Shade Case Needs a Different Approach

One detail can change which issues matter most and how the case gets built.

Military families: With Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst largely in Burlington County, many local cases involve deployment schedules, military pensions, and service member protections. A military divorce follows federal rules alongside New Jersey law.
Business owners: When one spouse owns a small business, its value and the income it really produces often need a forensic review. Business owner divorce also raises whether the company itself, or only its growth during the marriage, is marital property.
Stay-at-home parents: Divorcing as a stay-at-home parent puts alimony, earning capacity, and your share of retirement savings at the center of the case. None of those should be conceded early.
Shared parenting: Joint custody in New Jersey usually means shared legal decision-making, even when the children sleep in Maple Shade most school nights. That distinction shapes both the schedule and child support.
Grandparents: Grandparents can ask a New Jersey court for visitation but must show that denying it would harm the child. Grandparents’ rights cases often surface during or after a divorce, when family ties break down.

What Filing in Burlington County Looks Like

Knowing the order of events ahead of time takes a lot of the dread out of it.

Your Free Consultation

A free phone call sorts out which issues need temporary orders right away and which paperwork to start gathering.

Starting the Case

We prepare and file the Complaint for Divorce in Burlington County, which generally requires one spouse to have lived in New Jersey for a year. Hearings are held in Mount Holly, about twenty minutes away.

Sharing Financial Information

Each spouse files a Case Information Statement, the sworn financial disclosure. We gather the tax returns, pay stubs, retirement statements, and any business records that back it up.

Settlement Before Trial

Open money issues go to the Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel, then often to economic mediation. We bring a clear position on support and the house to each session.

The Final Judgment

The Final Judgment of Divorce turns the agreed or decided terms into a binding order. We word it clearly enough to follow long after the case closes.

The Attorneys Who Will Handle Your Case

Ron Graziano

Ron Graziano has practiced in South Jersey since 1974, after clerking for Chief Judge Mitchell H. Cohen of the U.S. District Court for New Jersey. The Supreme Court of New Jersey certified him as a Civil Trial Attorney from 1978 to 2003, and he has argued before that court. He founded the firm now known as Graziano & Flynn in 2003, and clients lean on his experience when a case carries serious financial exposure or heads toward trial.

Robyn Flynn

Robyn B. Flynn has practiced family law for more than thirty years, starting as a law clerk to a New Jersey Superior Court judge, and she has been through a divorce herself. That pairing of a courtroom record with lived experience shapes how she works: direct about the legal realities, steady about the emotional ones. Her litigation work covers contested custody, alimony, and the division of marital property.

Why Maple Shade Families Work With Graziano & Flynn

Maple Shade divorces often cross a county line. One spouse stays in town while the other moves into Camden County, and the children’s week runs through both. After years as family law attorneys in Cherry Hill, we moved our office to Maple Shade, and our practice has always covered both sides of that line.

Fluent in both courts: Robyn Flynn is a member of the Camden/Burlington Inns of Court, and our attorneys handle cases in both counties’ family divisions.
Roots next door: Ron Graziano served as mayor of neighboring Mount Laurel and sat on its planning board, so this corner of Burlington County is home ground.
A voice for the spouse who stayed home: Robyn founded the legal clinic for the Camden County YWCA’s Displaced Homemaker Program, and that work shapes how we pursue alimony for a spouse returning to work.
Cost weighed against outcome: we tell you plainly when a fight is worth its price and when a settlement protects more of what you have.
Peer-rated leadership: both founding partners hold AV Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell.

Questions We Hear Around Maple Shade

The biggest driver is how many issues stay disputed. A case resolved by agreement costs far less than one that needs custody evaluations, appraisals, and trial. We walk through what will drive cost in your case during the free consultation.

It can. Maple Shade sits on the Burlington and Camden county border, so a case that reaches into Camden County may involve a different vicinage. As long as you still live in Maple Shade, your matter can generally stay in Burlington County.

An uncontested divorce with a signed agreement can often finish in a few months. Cases that go through the settlement panel and economic mediation commonly take a year or longer.

Judges build parenting plans around real life, including a daily commute. We make sure the schedule reflects your actual hours and travel rather than an arrangement that looks fine on paper but falls apart by Monday.

Not automatically. School placement usually follows where the children primarily live, so a move into a neighboring district should be settled in the custody plan before it happens. Moving out of state with the children requires the other parent’s consent or a court order.

Areas We Serve

Beyond Maple Shade, we represent families across Burlington and Camden Counties and the wider South Jersey area, including neighboring Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, Cinnaminson, and Pennsauken.
