Since no two family law cases are the same, our law firm's goal is to provide competent and effective legal advice that is tailored to each particular matter. We will strategize appropriately and provide our clients with options to settle their cases as expeditiously as possible. We will advocate zealously on behalf of our clients and seek what is in their best interests and the best interests of their children.
In divorce matters, there is no winner and no loser, despite popular opinion. The reality is that both parties will have to compromise somewhat in order to reach a global settlement of their case. Our mission is to provide clients with different options and help effectively navigate each client down the appropriate path toward resolution.

Upon graduation from law school, Mr. Eveland served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable James C. Heimlich, J.S.C. (Ret.), in Union County, Law Division. Following his clerkship, he held associate positions at Budd Larner, PC in Short Hills, New Jersey (exclusively practicing family law) and Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, LLC in Morristown, New Jersey (also exclusively practicing family law).
The decision to pursue a divorce marks a critical and often emotional time in any person's life. The end of a marriage represents the closing of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. Further, a divorce can have far-reaching consequences for not only the individual litigants, but for their children and family as a whole.
In New Jersey, the vast majority of divorce cases settle by way of agreement, consistent with New Jersey's long-held public policy to encourage the settlement of all litigation. As set forth in the Appellate Division case of Tahan v. Duquette, 259 N.J. Super 328, 336 App. Div.
1992, "no stranger in a judicial robe, however able and well motivated he or she may be, is equipped to make a decision as valid" as the parties working together to reach a resolution.A good marital settlement agreement will address all issues touching the parties' lives including, but not limited to, child custody and parenting time, financial support, and the division of assets and debts.

Alimony, or support paid by one spouse to another upon divorce, is often one of the most contentious issues in a divorce.
Four different forms of alimony exist in New Jersey: "open durational" (i.e., without a set end date); "limited duration" (for a specific term of years); "rehabilitative" (to afford a supported spouse time to gain financial independence) and "reimbursement" (to compensate a supported spouse for, by way of example, contributions made to the other party's education or career).

New Jersey law permits any person who is at least 18 years of age to become an adoptive parent, provided that they are at least 10 years older than the individual they seek to adopt and meet certain other requirements to establish that they are fit and suitable parents for a child. A child may be adopted via private placement or through the assistance of an adoption agency.

Family and Divorce attorneys face clients just like me who are dealing with very emotional issues on the path to divorce. Yet, while displaying sincere compassion, Evelyn & Foster, LLC, remained focused on the legal analysis of my circumstances, which included speaking patiently and plainly to me their view of the legal consequences of any action or decision I contemplated taking..
Any client who hires the services of Evelyn & Foster, LLC can be confident in their integrity in operating every aspect of their service. I feel lucky to have found their firm and would recommend Evelyn & Foster, LLC

Eveland & Foster Family Law's legal team is highly professional and responsive. I worked with them on a settlement and received incredibly fair, transparent and helpful advice as we worked through the process. Elizabeth Foster digested complex legal matters and language, enabling me to make appropriate and fair contracting decisions that were in my and my family's best interest. Further, Elizabeth was incredibly quick to respond to ensure the process was completed in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Eveland & Foster!

We had engaged the services of Eveland & Foster Law Firm to help us through a tough time with the death of our daughter last year. Jason immediately understood our needs and was very compassionate and understanding, especially in the COVID times and resulting restrictions. Jason explained to us what needed to be done and provided the estimated cost for services. The entire firm at Eveland and Foster worked diligently to handle our needs. The estimate provided was on target with the actual expenses. Our matter was resolved and we very satisfied with the results.

Jay is professional, quick to answer phone calls, emails & questions, and a great guide during a difficult time. Anyone who has navigated the divorce process knows it can be very tricky to understand all of the details and think through everything while you're in an overly emotional state. I can highly recommend Jay for his calm and cool, and ease to deal with a range of emotions!

Divorce is a stressful, painful, and costly experience that is virtually impossible to navigate alone and without professional guidance. Jason and Liz are an incredible team that provided me with invaluable advice, information on the law, and support when I just felt like giving up and moving on which would have been to my financial and emotional detriment. They are not only experts, but they are passionate advocates for their clients - I felt this way as I was up against a much larger firm and an ex with endless resources. In the end, they helped me reach a fair settlement that I am pleased
