Bari Zell Weinberger is a nationally recognized New Jersey divorce and family law attorney whose practice is devoted exclusively to matrimonial and family matters. As the Founder and Managing Partner of Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group, LLC, she represents clients in all aspects of divorce and family law, including child custody and parenting time, child support, alimony, asset and property division, and complex financial disputes. Her approach is practical and client-focused, helping individuals make informed decisions that protect their children, financial security, and long-term well-being.
Bari is designated by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Certified Matrimonial Attorney, a distinction held by fewer than 0.5% of attorneys in the state. This certification reflects her depth of experience, legal knowledge, and demonstrated skill in handling complex family law matters. For clients, it provides the assurance that their case is being handled by an attorney whose expertise has been rigorously vetted at the highest level.
In addition to litigation, Bari is a court-approved Family Law Mediator and is trained in collaborative divorce. This allows her to offer alternative dispute resolution options when appropriate and to tailor her strategy to each client’s goals, whether that means strong courtroom advocacy or a more private, solution-focused approach designed to reduce conflict, cost, and emotional strain.
As a widely respected thought leader in family law, Bari is frequently called upon by the media to provide insight on divorce and family law issues. Her commentary has appeared in national and regional consumer outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CBS, ABC, and the New Jersey Law Journal. She is also the author of a comprehensive series of consumer-focused books and guides on divorce and family law topics, helping individuals better understand their rights, options, and the legal process. In addition, she has served as an editor and associate author of New Jersey Family Law Practice, a multi-volume legal treatise relied upon by judges and attorneys throughout the state.
Bari’s professional excellence has earned consistent recognition from both peers and clients, including an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers honors, inclusion on the Best Lawyers in New Jersey and Best Lawyers in the United States lists, and multiple Client Satisfaction Awards. She has also been recognized as a Top Woman in the Law by the New Jersey Law Journal and as a Top 50 Woman in Business by NJBIZ.
Before founding her firm, Bari clerked for judges in the New Jersey Family Part, gaining valuable insight into how family law cases are evaluated and decided from the bench – experience that continues to benefit her clients today.
Clients who work with Bari value her combination of legal precision, strategic thinking, and genuine empathy. She is known for being direct, prepared, and deeply invested in helping clients move forward with clarity, stability, and peace of mind.
