Family law encompasses many subcategories and situations involving families:

• dissolution of marriage,
• support for spouses and children,
• domestic violence,
• custody and visitation issues,
• adoption,
• modification of divorce judgments,
• enforcement of judgments or voluntary agreements,
• distribution of property and debts,
• and even, occasionally, bankruptcy.

In most instances, there are intense emotions on both sides, which complicates the legal and financial issues.

Gina Calogero has been providing compassionate, professional advice to clients in family law since 1987. In 2005, she was recognized by the Bergen County Board of Freeholders for 10 years of volunteer service to the Bergen County Domestic Violence Legal Advocacy Program, providing pro bono representation to victims of domestic violence who cannot afford an attorney.

Gina understands that a client who is going through a divorce needs more than just competent legal advice – an empathetic ear can help the client cope with the turmoil and put things in perspective. There is life after divorce. Having a lawyer who understands your needs can make the experience more bearable for the client and the client’s family.
