New Jersey is an equitable distribution state. This means that assets, property, and debt that have been accumulated during the course of your marriage must be divided fairly and equitably. In some cases involving little to no assets and debts, the process of division can be very straightforward.
However, many cases involve complex issues regarding questions about the value of assets, retirement accounts, investment properties, stocks and bonds, tax liabilities, mortgage loans, and the list goes on.Whether the issues are simple or complex, our family law attorneys have the knowledge and the experience to help you with the division of your marital assets and liabilities.

At the Law Office of Rachel S. Cotrino, our lawyers handle claims for spousal support, otherwise known as alimony. As experienced New Jersey alimony lawyers, we know that spousal support is among the most hotly contested disputes in many divorce cases. Typically, one spouse wants and needs alimony while the other spouse does not want to pay.
If you are going through a divorce or separation in New Jersey and you need an attorney for child support, custody, or visitation issues. If you are going through a divorce or separation in New Jersey and you have children, then you will need help resolving the issue of child support.
Generally speaking, child support is meant to ensure that your children are able to lead healthy and productive lives despite the breakdown between you and the other parent.There are two parents in every New Jersey child support case. One is the custodial parent (or the payee). The custodial parent is the one who lives with the child and has the primary day-to-day responsibility.

Rachel Cotrino is an outstanding lawyer. Should you need a lawyer in her field & you don’t retain her then you’ve made a mistake. Rachel is beyond professional in every area. She’s an intelligent, confident & aggressive person well versed in her field. She was totally committed and always available to our daughter.
Retaining Rachel was a God send we genuinely can’t imagine winning our daughter’s case with any other lawyer. Quite honestly we wish we would have found Rachel sooner!!!
A Great lawyer and a great person…. a winner from start to finish!
Thank you Rachel,
Mr.& Mrs. Meola

She is the BEST!!! My fiance was very happy with her helping him with some child support issues! She is extremely professional, caring, very nice, she listens you your concerns, and will go out of her way to get the job done for you! Rachel knows her stuff, unlike his other divorce lawyer he had years ago. Her and her staff are just there for you at all hours of the day, and like I saw on her other past 5 star reviews, she helps those Dads out there! Wished we knew of Rachel back then, but so glad we found her now and again for the future! Thank you!!!!

Rachel was flawless in helping to resolve my custody case. From consultation to final stage, Rachel displayed genuine commitment and engagement.
Rachel stepped in, took a hold of the issue, listened, and executed seamlessly. Her ability to articulate and convey my wants and needs was impressive. Rachel did a great job tweaking our approach to ensure a timely solution and considering the case holistically.
It was a pleasure working with Rachel and I would highly recommend her!

I had a 30 minute consultation Rachel Cotrino, and in that half an hour she wasted no time telling me step by step what to do in my situation. She also sent me resources to assist me in my situation. I appreciated that she did not feel that I would need her continued assistance, with a high retainer to continue the process. If I do need further assistance, without hesitation I will use her representation because I do feel she’s sharp, honest, and just wants the best outcome for me. Thank you for your guidance!

This is one Great lawyer- I highly recommend her! I hired her in June of this year and by November my case was completed. The last couple of lawyers I hired before her, dragged out my case for at about 2 years with horrible out comes. With Rachel, she worked quickly and got me a good out come. She gave me good advise to save money and time. Rachel stood up for me in the face of the opposition, compared to the other lawyers I hired, they could careless. Rachel is my Super Hero and I will be hiring her again.

Joanna Schiaffo,Esq. represented me with my action of divorce. I could not have asked for a more competent, confident & compassionate attorney. Ms. Schiaffo's calm, confident demeanor guided me though the… most difficult task of ending a 30 year relationship, as well as the loss of my mother & son during the preparation of my case. The entire staff of Rachel S. Contrino, LLC was there for me from start to finish. Just to add a little humor, my ex-husband is singing the Contrino firms praises to his friends. LOL

The reason I needed an attorney was for a simple emancipation motion and alimony reduction or elimination in Monmouth county. I live in Florida for the past five years and I needed to find someone that I could trust. After I spoke to a couple of attorneys in NJ I came across Rachels website and called her. I was first impressed that it was Rachel that answered her own phone! She seemed well informed about my situation, confident and offered her services at a very fair price and informed me that she would "Fight for you all the way!" And that she did. She was diligent about the compilation
