Family & Matrimonial Law
We handle complex matrimonial matters including divorce, child custody, support, prenuptial agreements, and Islamic prenuptial agreements — with compassion and skill.
Compassionate Family Law Representation
Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally charged legal issues a person can face. At Awad & Khoury, LLP, we understand the stakes. Led by partner Abed Awad, our family law practice combines experienced legal advocacy with a deep understanding of the cultural and religious considerations that matter to our clients.
We represent clients in all New Jersey family courts, handling matters from straightforward uncontested divorces to highly complex matrimonial litigation involving significant assets, business interests, and custody disputes.
We work to resolve matters efficiently and favorably, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. We explain every step of the process clearly and keep you informed throughout.
Our Family Law Services
Divorce & Legal Separation
We handle contested and uncontested divorces, legal separations, and annulments. We address all related issues including equitable distribution of marital property, alimony/spousal support, and more. Our attorneys work to protect your financial interests while guiding you toward a fair resolution.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
Custody disputes are often the most difficult part of a family law case. We advocate strongly for our clients' parental rights while keeping the best interests of the children at the forefront. We handle both legal and physical custody determinations and parenting time (visitation) schedules.
Child Support & Alimony
We help clients navigate New Jersey's child support guidelines and alimony statutes to ensure fair and appropriate support arrangements. Whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay it, we protect your rights and financial well-being.
Prenuptial Agreements (Premarital Agreements)
We draft and review prenuptial agreements that protect our clients' assets while complying with New Jersey law. A well-crafted prenuptial agreement provides clarity and security for both parties entering a marriage.
Islamic Prenuptial Agreements (Shari'a-compliant)
Abed Awad has particular expertise in drafting prenuptial agreements that comply with both New Jersey law and Islamic Shari'a principles. These agreements address mahr (dower), religious upbringing of children, and other matters important to Muslim couples while remaining fully enforceable under U.S. law.
