About Katherine
Biography
Originally from New York City, I now call Monmouth County, New Jersey home. I focus my practice on Family Law, including, but not limited to marital dissolution (divorce), non-dissolution matters (parties who were not married but have children together), child custody, child support and pre- and post-judgment matters.
Practicing Family Law I get to meet good people at some of the most challenging times of their lives. I enjoy helping them through those challenges as they transition into a new phase of their lives.
I went to law school here in New Jersey, graduating from Rutgers University School of Law – Newark in 2010. Prior to law school, I earned my MBA from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California in 1997, and, worked for a nearly decade in corporate America. I earned my undergraduate degree in English from Barnard College at Columbia University in 1992.
After law school, I interned for two Judges, and clerked for two other Judges, working in the Courts for a total of nearly two years. My full-year term was spent clerking for the Honorable John E. Selser, III, in the Family Part, Passaic County Superior Court. Following my clerkship, I exclusively practiced Family Law in northern New Jersey for nearly two years, prior to forming Richardson & Richardson, LLC in 2013 with my husband and law partner, Coulter K. Richardson.

Complicated Divorce
Katherine represented me in an amicable divorce involving complicated issues primarily stemming from our being "under water" with our marital home. She was excellent and compassionate throughout.

could not be happier!
I found Katherine through a friend's recommendation when I needed to divorce my addict/abusive now-ex husband. I could not have been happier with the outcome and how she handled my case.

Child custody case
Outstanding and caring attorney. Ms. Richardson represented me in a custody case; I now have sole legal custody of my granddaughter. I would definitely hire Ms. Richardson again should I need to and have referred a client to her.
