Why Family Law Looks Different in Mount Laurel
Graziano & Flynn, P.C. is a Mount Laurel divorce lawyer and family law firm serving South Jersey for nearly fifty years, from uncontested filings to high-conflict custody trials. The corporate corridor along Larchmont Boulevard and Fellowship Road, home to NFL Films, Lockheed Martin, and Bracco Diagnostics, means many Mount Laurel divorces turn on stock and deferred compensation, not just a house. Mount Laurel also borders Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Evesham, and Medford, so a case here often touches assets or addresses in those towns too. Our office is ten minutes west in Maple Shade; the Mount Holly courthouse is fifteen minutes east.
What Our Clients Say About Our Services
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.
What We Handle for Mount Laurel Families
Most Mount Laurel cases are filed under irreconcilable differences: no fault required, no consent needed, just six months of marital breakdown. We handle everything from filing through equitable distribution and trial.
Family Division judges weigh each parent’s caregiving history, work schedule, and stability. We build plans around real Mount Laurel logistics, Lenape Regional schedules, the PATCO commute, and school-district lines when a co-parent relocates to Evesham or Medford.
New Jersey calculates support from both parents’ income, parenting time, health insurance, and childcare costs. Disputes usually center on establishing income, especially with bonuses, stock compensation, or self-employment.
Alimony is fact-driven: length of marriage, standard of living, and earning capacity. It’s often the most negotiated piece of longer Mount Laurel cases with a wide income gap between spouses.
New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, fair, not necessarily equal. That often means tracing a 401(k) or pension, valuing a business, or dividing equity in a Birchfield home or Holiday Village property.
A Temporary Restraining Order can be issued the same day, through the courthouse or Mount Laurel PD after hours. The Final Restraining Order hearing follows in Mount Holly within about ten days.
Job loss, relocation, a child’s changing needs, or cohabitation can justify modifying support, alimony, or custody, often triggered by a move to a neighboring town like Moorestown or Marlton. We also handle enforcement.
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for couples bringing real estate, a family business, or retirement assets into a Mount Laurel marriage.
What Happens After You File
Filing
Your case begins at the Burlington County Central Processing Office on Rancocas Road in Mount Holly. We draft the Complaint carefully from day one, a vague or overly aggressive filing tends to cost more time later than it saves.
Disclosure and Discovery
Both spouses complete a Case Information Statement, the financial backbone of the case. Discovery follows: document requests, employer and bank subpoenas, depositions, and expert reports, this is where the firm's six-attorney bench actually earns its keep on RSU tracing or business valuation cases.
Settlement or Trial
Contested cases go through an Early Settlement Panel for a non-binding recommendation, then mandatory economic mediation, which our attorneys handle in-house rather than outsourcing to a third party. Most cases resolve here. Those that don't go to trial with an attorney who has personally argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Final Judgment
The court enters a Final Judgment of Divorce covering custody, support, alimony, and asset division. We draft it with the same precision Ron brings to trial, vague language is what creates the next round of litigation, and often the next enforcement fight.
The Lawyers on Your Case
Ron Graziano has practiced family law in New Jersey for nearly fifty years, a career that has included a term as Mount Laurel’s Mayor. He is a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, has argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court, and holds an AV Preeminent peer review rating.
Robyn Flynn has practiced family law for 30+ years and has personally navigated her own divorce, which shapes how she counsels clients through the emotional weight of these cases.

Why Mount Laurel Families Choose Graziano & Flynn
Mount Laurel adds two layers most South Jersey firms don’t consider: a large military population tied to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and housing that ranges from established neighborhoods like Hartford and Rancocas Woods to newer construction. Choosing a firm here means choosing one that already knows that landscape.
- Led by a former Mount Laurel Mayor. Before practicing family law full-time, Ron Graziano served as Mount Laurel’s Councilman, Deputy Mayor, and Mayor, giving him a firsthand understanding of this township and its courts.
- Two AV Preeminent attorneys on one team, not one. Ron Graziano and Robyn Flynn have each earned Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent rating, the highest peer-review distinction for legal ability and ethics, most South Jersey family firms have zero.
- A six-attorney team with 100+ years of combined experience. Complex cases involving RSU tracing, business valuation, or contested custody often need more than one attorney’s bandwidth, and this firm has the depth to staff them properly.
- A Certified Civil Trial Attorney who has argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court. Ron Graziano held that certification for 25 years, a credential opposing counsel weighs heavily.
- In-house mediation, not just litigation. For couples who want a faster, less expensive resolution, the firm handles mediation directly, while staying trial-ready if the other side won’t cooperate.
- Ten minutes from Mount Laurel, not across the county. The office sits at Tall Oaks Corporate Center in Maple Shade, close to the Burlington County courthouse in Mount Holly.
- A free initial consultation. Get a straight answer on where your case stands before committing to anything.
Questions Mount Laurel Clients Ask Before They Call
Do I have to take a parenting class before my Mount Laurel divorce is finalized?
Yes, if you have minor children. New Jersey’s Parents’ Education Program is mandatory in every Burlington County divorce involving custody, visitation, or support. Each parent attends a separate session, and the court won’t enter a final judgment until both complete it. An active restraining order can exempt you.
How long do I need to live in Mount Laurel before I can file for divorce?
New Jersey requires one year of residency before filing, with one exception: if the grounds are adultery, that waiting period doesn’t apply. Just moved here? We can tell you exactly when you’ll be eligible to file in Burlington County.
Can grandparents get court-ordered visitation if a Mount Laurel family splits up?
Rarely, and only if they can prove that denying visitation would actually harm the child, not just that it would be nice to have. New Jersey courts set that bar deliberately high to protect a fit parent’s right to decide who sees their kids.
Does Mount Laurel have its own family court, or does everything go to Mount Holly?
Mount Laurel’s municipal court handles local matters like traffic tickets, not divorce or custody. Every family law case, regardless of which Mount Laurel neighborhood you live in, is filed and heard at the Burlington County Superior Court in Mount Holly.
Will my Mount Laurel divorce case become public record?
The final judgment itself is public. The detailed financial disclosures, including the Case Information Statement, are treated as confidential and aren’t released to anyone outside the case without a court order.
