Brief Interview with Bergen County, NJ Divorce Attorney

As a collaborative divorce attorney, what do you strive for most on behalf of your clients?

I help explore options to reach a settlement that is fair to both spouses without having to go to court. Instead of spending time preparing for litigation, I facilitate that all parties (you, your spouse, his/her collaborative attorney) negotiate collaboratively and fairly in order to achieve a positive outcome for all members.

What are some of the areas you facilitate as a divorce mediator?

In mediation, I make sure we cover everything, from gathering information and exploring a wide range of options to resolving conflicts and coming to agreement on all the important issues. I assist you in making decisions together, whatever your differences at the outset. In addition, I help both of you express and take care of your needs to your mutual satisfaction.

What if my spouse and I try divorce mediation or collaborative divorce (with someone other than Joe Noto) but cannot agree to anything? What then?

I am also trained in traditional family law and will represent you in all steps of divorce litigation. From custody, child support and assets, I make sure you understand your choices. I then work with you through your divorce with the end goal of a fair settlement that protects your rights and serves your children’s and your best interests.

Note that if I am your collaborative lawyer or divorce mediator, then I cannot represent you later as your divorce lawyer for a contested divorce.

What if I have to sell my house as part of the divorce settlement? Do I have to find a real estate attorney too?

Often part of divorce settlements include sale of a home. Rather than having to find another attorney – in addition to your divorce lawyer – I can also represent you since I am an experienced NJ real estate lawyer. My expertise also applies to commercial real estate transactions too.
