If you’re looking for a New Jersey family law attorney who’s deeply involved in the day-to-day realities of divorce and custody cases—and also influential in how the law is applied statewide—Jeralyn L. Lawrence is that rare combination. She founded Lawrence Law and dedicates her practice exclusively to matrimonial and family law, representing clients in divorces, custody and parenting time disputes, child support and alimony matters, domestic violence cases, and the negotiation of separation and property settlement agreements. She also advises on adoption, guardianship, domestic partnerships, palimony, and related issues that can surface when families are restructuring. Jeralyn is comfortable in court, but she’s equally skilled in alternative dispute resolution as a collaborative lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator—tools that can save clients time, stress, and money when a litigated fight isn’t the best answer. She works on cases across the spectrum, including complex, high-asset matters involving significant income and property, and she has represented high-profile individuals as well.
Jeralyn’s professional leadership is substantial. She has argued before the Supreme Court of New Jersey on behalf of organizations like the NJSBA and AAML/NJ, including cases addressing the Division of Child Protection and Permanency and the need for consistent standards in alimony modification based on cohabitation. She’s also served as amicus before the Appellate Division. Her peers elected her President of the NJSBA, and the Supreme Court has appointed her to key committees focused on discipline, attorney wellness, and family practice. She is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney and previously served on the committee that oversees that certification process. Jeralyn earned her undergraduate degree at Kean University and graduated summa cum laude from Seton Hall Law, second in her class, after serving as Student Director of the Family Law Clinic.

Child Support Help
The non custodial parent has not paid child support in almost a year, won't respond to phone calls or letters. Reached out to Lawrence Law and they were able to send me helpful articles for next steps, despite being outside my state. Thank you for listening.
