Why We Focus on Men and Fathers
West Caldwell in Essex County is a family-oriented suburban township that is a direct drive into Manhattan via the George Washington Bridge. Despite its proximity to New York, West Caldwell provides numerous recreational and educational activities for people of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens.
Even in a family-oriented community such as West Caldwell, men and fathers still end up separating and divorcing from their wives. At The Micklin Law Group, we know that even an amicable divorce can be heart-rending and painful, particularly when there are children involved.

In an amicable divorce, we negotiate a settlement and child custody or support payments quickly, which saves men and fathers in West Caldwell time and money.
As child custody lawyers in West Caldwell, we also work with men and fathers to negotiate child visitation schedules and father’s rights. When a father wants to be the custodial parent or to co-parent with the mother, we enable them to reach their objective.
We know how to negotiate child support payments that both meet the New Jersey guidelines and are fair to the children, the father in West Caldwell getting divorced, and the mother.
If it becomes necessary, we work with fathers to get a court to compel a mother to meet her obligations over the father’s custody or visitation rights.
A growing number of fathers want to be the custodial parent or to be named a co-parent of their child. The Micklin Law Group has earned its reputation for advocating on behalf of fathers in West Caldwell to co-parent the children with their mother or to be awarded custody of the children.
The law specifies that, in a West Caldwell divorce, the needs and best interests of the children must come above all other considerations. We show a judge why naming the father as a co-parent or as the custodial parent will be best for the children.
We work with men getting divorced in West Caldwell to negotiate fair and reasonable property settlements, and calculating spousal support payments that are just.
Sometimes, a divorce can be especially difficult when your ex has a toxic personality, is an alcoholic or shows signs of suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. We help men and fathers create and implement a strategy to deal with an unreasonable ex.
Spousal support payments get negotiated by the attorneys for the man or father and his wife.
Now that many women have careers and own businesses, the calculation can be complicated. When we work with men from West Caldwell NJ, we know how to ensure that spousal support payments are reasonable and based on the couple’s financial situation.
When a father becomes the co-parent or custodial parent and the mother has her own income, we make sure that this information is included in the calculation.
Spousal support is designed to lessen the financial burden after a divorce so that both people can build new lives.
In the process of negotiating spousal support, we ensure that she is not hiding any income or assets that need to be part of the calculation determining spousal support. In some cases, we find that she is not entitled to any ongoing alimony.
