Clients with disabilities require special strategies to protect their benefits. If clients are receiving Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or participate in programs of the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), the resolution of a divorce requires careful attention to the requirements for eligibility for those programs. We have substantial experience in creating Special Needs Trusts to protect alimony and assets received in equitable distribution. We also are available to assist disabled divorcing clients with Social Security Disability Appeals or Veterans Compensation appeals.

Our matrimonial legal services include:

• Separation and Divorce
• Medicaid Eligibility in connection with divorce
• Estate Planning and trusts for the divorced client
• Pre-nuptial Agreements
• Co-habitation Agreements
• Special Needs Trusts for clients with disabilities
• Civil Union Couples
• Second Marriages
• Mediation

We are also available for other family law matters.

Mediation can be used to resolve any dispute but most commonly is used in family/divorce matters and civil/commercial matters. According to the NJAPM, mediation is "the process in which a trained neutral person, called a mediator, facilitates the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. Mediation is non-adversarial with the objective of helping the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement."

There are many advantages to using mediation in place of legal proceedings where the parties become adversaries. A partner in the firm since 1978, Gene Rosner is an Accredited Mediator by the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators (NJAPM.org) and the Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Special Needs Trusts can protect the income and resources of Medicaid recipients who are under age 65. Contact us to discuss your personal situation.
