Recent alimony reform in New Jersey was a small step in the right direction but more must be done. For many years I obliged and provided all support for the children including college, cars, etc. But changing times, personal struggles with health, an inflexible court system and a content ex-partner l...eft little hope, not to mention a stupid decision on my part a long time ago with some seriously bad counsel. I felt though I had one more battle in me to find a way. You see, the problem is that where there is a movement afoot to get rid of 'alimony forever', many of these divorce attorneys are also battling against reform. They feed off one of the emotionally distressed partners while the other suffers (and hires another attorney). In searching for someone to stand with me, I encountered quite a few. Thankfully my research led me to Jef. Jef is assisting with getting more reform so he knows the issue, inside and out. He was the best hire I ever made, and I have hired hundreds of people including many attorneys. We discussed the issue, worked as a team, and 7 months later we had resolution. He was always available, communicated well and yes, even his fees were totally transparent and fair. If you are one of thousands who are suffering from these outdated and antiquated laws, even with this most recent reform, I would recommend calling Jef. At the very least, you can be assured you will be speaking to someone very knowledgeable and just as important, someone who will represent you and not be associated with groups who would like to see the laws stay exactly as they are. But, I believe you will get more than that. Hiring an attorney to help you navigate the current system is difficult but not impossible to find someone who really gets it. I believe Jef is such an attorney.

I talked to him and hired him for an emancipation case based off of the big game he talks. In court I find out he's going to school ok so a reduction in child support is brought up and shot down because it wasn't filed for with the emancipation. One would think an Attorney they hire would tell their ...client to check that off in the original paper work when filing for emancipation just in case the emancipation wasn't approved but of course he wouldn't be able to make more money that way.

Jef represented me in my case to eliminate my alimony payments so I could consider retiring. He was responsive, gave great advice, negotiated on my behalf, and took care of all the court filings and administration and paperwork. He got me what I wanted. His fee was much lower than I had expected, ...partly because he operates very lean and very efficiently. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing a good lawyer. I would hire him again in a minute next time I need a NJ lawyer. I could not have had better representation.

I retained Jef Henninger for a child support emancipation case. It was not a clear cut case as the other parent was suing to emancipate my adult college student son. My son did not maintain a passing grade point average and I was extremely concerned. Jef Henninger took my case on very short notice an...d was able to obtain a very fair settlement that was beneficial to all parties including my son. It was handled quickly and very professionally saving both parents a great deal of money in legal fees. This also saved me, the custodial parent a lot of stress.
