Steady representation for Mount Laurel families facing divorce, custody disputes, and the financial decisions that follow.

The Legal Landscape of a Mount Laurel Divorce

Graziano & Flynn, P.C. is a Mount Laurel divorce lawyer and family law firm led by an attorney who has practiced in South Jersey since 1974, handling everything from uncontested filings to high-conflict custody trials.

Corporate employers like NFL Films, Lockheed Martin, and PHH Mortgage line the Larchmont Boulevard and Fellowship Road corridor, which is why so many Mount Laurel divorces turn on stock grants and deferred compensation instead of a simple house split. The township also borders Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Evesham, and Medford, so a case here often reaches into one of those towns too, an asset, an employer, or a co-parent’s new address.

Our office is ten minutes west in Maple Shade, and 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

Divorce Representation

Most Mount Laurel divorce 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.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

Judges weigh each parent’s caregiving history, schedule, and stability. We build custody plans around Mount Laurel routines: Lenape Regional schedules, the PATCO commute, and school lines if a parent moves to Evesham or Medford. New Jersey amended its custody statute in January 2026 (P.L. 2025, c. 316), making child safety a threshold issue and limiting reunification therapy.

Child Support

New Jersey calculates child 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 and Spousal Support

Alimony is fact-driven: length of marriage, standard of living, and earning capacity. New Jersey recognizes four types: open durational, limited duration, rehabilitative, and reimbursement. It’s often the most negotiated piece of longer Mount Laurel cases with a wide income gap between spouses.

Division of Marital Assets and Debts

New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, fair, not necessarily equal. That often means tracing a 401(k) or pension and dividing it through a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO), valuing a business, or splitting equity in a Birchfield home or Holiday Village property.

Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, a Temporary Restraining Order for domestic violence 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.

Post-Judgment Modifications

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.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

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

We file every Complaint at the Burlington County Central Processing Office, 49 Rancocas Road in Mount Holly, and we draft it deliberately, since a vague or overly aggressive filing tends to cost more time later than it saves. We also arrange service on your spouse and, if they can't be found, ask the court for alternative service.

Disclosure and Discovery

We build your Case Information Statement together, the financial backbone of the case, then run discovery: document requests, subpoenas, depositions, and expert reports. This is where the firm's depth earns its keep on RSU tracing or business valuation cases.

Settlement or Trial

We take contested cases through the Early Settlement Panel and handle the required economic mediation in-house. Most cases resolve there. Mediation is not right for every case: with safety concerns or hidden assets, we litigate. Uncontested cases take two to four months; contested ones, twelve to eighteen or more. Trials go with an attorney who has argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Final Judgment

We draft your Final Judgment of Divorce, covering custody, support, alimony, and asset division, with the same precision Ron brings to trial. Vague language is what creates the next round of litigation, and often the next enforcement fight.

Where Mount Laurel Divorces Get Complicated

RSUs, options, and deferred pay from the township’s largest employers often vest years after a marriage ends. We divide them using a coverture fraction:

Vesting: only the share earned during the marriage is divided; pre-marital or post-separation service can be excluded.
Bonuses: support can use a multi-year average or a percentage of each bonus, not one strong year.
Timing: settling before an award is valued can leave money on the table.

With Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, military divorces come up here:

Retirement pay: divided under the federal Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act.
Deployment: can pause a case under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Benefits: TRICARE and survivor elections must be written into the final judgment.

Why Mount Laurel Families Choose Graziano & Flynn

Mount Laurel brings two local layers into family law: families tied to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and housing that ranges from established neighborhoods like Hartford to newer construction. Choose a firm that already knows this landscape.

Questions Mount Laurel Clients Ask Before They Call

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
