And while each divorce is as unique as the individuals involved, mistakes made along the way can make the process even more difficult. Here are six of the most common mistakes couples make when divorcing.</p> 194<ul> 195<li><strong>Letting emotions cloud their judgement</strong> â Divorce dredges up a range of emotions: sadness, anger, betrayal, fear. While these emotions are normal, letting them get in the way of the decision-making process can have a negative impact later for you and your children.</li> 196<li><strong>Failing to keep communications open</strong> â A failure to communicate and an unwillingness to compromise can lead to lengthy legal battles that will prolong the process and significantly affect the cost of your divorce.</li> 197</ul> 198<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.newjerseyfamilylawblog.com/6-common-mistakes-people-make-when-divorcing/" title="Continue Reading 6 Common Mistakes People

First, though, the assets and debts must be categorized as either <a href="https://www.kearnsrotololaw.com/practice-areas/family-law/property-distribution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marital property or separate property.</a></p> 277<p>Essentially, marital property are assets acquired during the marriage. New Jersey defines that period as beginning on the day of the wedding and ending the day a spouse files for divorce. Marital assets typically include but are not limited to:</p> 278<ul> 279<li>Income from either spouse</li> 280</ul> 281<div class="read_more_link"><a href="https://www.newjerseyfamilylawblog.com/dividing-assets-and-debts-in-a-divorce/" title="Continue Reading Dividing Assets â and Debts â In A Divorce" class="more-link">Continue reading âº</a></div> 282<div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-text sd-sharing"><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 283 data-shared="sharing-facebook-1906"

A mathematical formula under the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines is used to calculate the amount of the support obligation, taking into account such factors as each parentâs income, the basic cost related to raising the child or children, and the amount of parenting time each has with their offspring. Over time, however, circumstances change and so can support obligations.</p> 524<p><a href="https://www.kearnsrotololaw.com/practice-areas/family-law/child-support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
524Child support</a> is a court-ordered obligation and commonly enforced through payroll withholdings. These orders are reviewed every two years by the NJ Probation Department and can be adjusted at that time to meet cost of living changes. Additional adjustments can be requested by either parent when there is a substantial permanent change in circumstances that would affect the need of the receiving parent or the ability of the paying parent to meet their obligation. Examples of circumstances that could warrant a change in child support orders include:</p> 525<ul> 526<li>the loss of a parentâs job</li> 527</ul> 528<div class="read_more_link"><a

Oftentimes, these reactions develop into harmful narratives that children internalize or project on others. These reactions can range from clinging to false hope of a reconciliation between their parents to blaming themselves for the breakup of the marriage.</p> 769<p>Despite worrying about the effects it might have on the children, divorce is the only option for some couples.
