Questions About Family Law

Monday, November 29th, 2010

What areas does family law cover?

Family law includes a variety of family situations, as well as domestic issues. The Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. handles divorce cases, child custody issues, division of assets, child support and Department of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) cases. If you are going through a divorce, we can answer your questions regarding child custody issues and division of assets. Attorney Carbone will fight hard to get you everything you are entitled to following the dissolution of your marriage.

What is a no-fault divorce, and do I need a family attorney?

A no-fault divorce is one in which neither person blames the other for the breakdown of the marriage. There are no accusations or need to prove “guilt” or cause of the breakdown. A common basis for a no-fault divorce is “irreconcilable differences” or “irretrievable marriage breakdown.” Another common basis for no-fault divorce is the parties living separately for a certain period of time, such as for six months or a year, with the intent that the separation be permanent.

Can a family lawyer guarantee the mother will get custody of the minor children?

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in family law. However, we can guarantee that we will work very hard to get you the assets you deserve, and if you are the fit parent, we will argue your case to the judge and/or jury to make sure the best interests of the child are met. If your former spouse is in a better position to retain custody, we can discuss visitation options with you and explain your choices for shared or joint child custody.

Criminal Record Expungement

Friday, November 12th, 2010

Some people make mistakes during their lives that get them arrested and convicted. However, just because you may have made one stupid decision or used poor judgment at one point in your life doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Depending on the circumstances, it is possible to have your criminal record expunged or cleared.

At the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone, P.C. we have represented people in all walks of life such as doctors, other lawyers, accountants, nurses and teachers who made a mistake, got caught, and got convicted. The unfortunate aspect of getting convicted of a crime is that your record will reflect that conviction for a very long time, sometimes for the rest of your life. However, an experienced criminal attorney such as Attorney Carbone, serving Jersey City and Newark, will work hard to get your record expunged.

Attorney Carbone will meet with you to learn the details of your conviction. Then he’ll be able to give you a good idea of whether or not your record can be expunged. The less serious the crime, the better the chance of getting it successfully cleared from your record. If the crime cannot be cleared, then applying for jobs may be difficult in the future. If your employer were to find out about your record, you could even lose your current job. For this reason, it is imperative to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney, who cares and has what it takes to get your name cleared.

If you live in or around Newark or Jersey City and would like more information on getting your criminal record expunged, please contact experienced criminal defense attorney Anthony Carbone today to schedule a confidential consultation.
