Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation 34%

Divorce practice involves a wide range of legal services. Divorce may, and frequently does, include alimony, custody, division of assets and debts, parenting time, and even issues of domestic violence. As a practicing matrimonial attorney, I am capable of working in each and all of these areas, be it through negotiations or through use of the Court's assistance. Divorce practice, in all of its forms, is the lion's share of my work for our firm.

Child Custody 33%

Any matter involving enforcement or change of custody and parenting time.

Child Support 33%

Child support practice is common in many, many divorces and is even common after a divorce is final as children grow older, incomes change, and expenses increase. Actions for child support may even arise decades after a divorce is final and adult children attend college. These are legal matters I handle every day. Obtaining and enforcing child support obligations is, however, only half the story. I also assist our Clients in reducing or eliminating unfair or inequitable support obligations.

Highly recommend

This attorney went above and beyond for me during a difficult time. He successfully represented me in matters of child custody, child support and a restraining order. He was always prepared,professional and genuinely cared about protecting my child and my rights. His knowledge of family law and dedic...ation to his clients is exceptional. I highly recommend him to anyone facing family court issues.

AMAZING Restraining Order Attorney Who Truly Fights for You

I can't thank Jeff Kerstetter enough for the incredible job he did on my Final Restraining Order case. From the very first meeting, he demonstrated unmatched professionalism, preparation, and compassion. He understood every detail of New Jersey’s domestic violence and restraining order laws and u...sed that knowledge masterfully in court. What stood out most was his courtroom confidence and strategic precision. He anticipated every argument, presented the facts clearly, and handled cross-examinations with complete control. It was obvious that he cared about justice rather than just about “winning.” Because of his skillfull and tactical empathy, I was granted my Final Restraining Order, which gave me the safety and peace of mind I desperately needed. He guided me through every step, made sure my voice was heard, and fought for the truth with integrity. If you are looking for the best restraining order attorney in New Jersey, or a divorce and family law lawyer who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Jeff Kerstetter. His dedication, attention to detail, and courtroom expertise are second to none. Furthermore, I can now live my life without looking over my shoulder, without worry, which is what every person deserves

Best lawyer wver

I’ve had the privilege of having Jeffrey as my attorney for over 10 years, and I can confidently say he is the best lawyer anyone could ask for. Throughout every case I’ve faced, he has stood by me with unwavering dedication, and every single time, we’ve come out with a win. His passion for the law a...nd his clients is unmatched. He genuinely cares, and it shows in the way he handles each case with precision, integrity, and relentless determination. What sets him apart is not just his legal knowledge, but the way he fights for his clients like family. He makes you feel heard, supported, and protected every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for all he’s done for me over the years. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, Jeffrey is the one you want in your corner.

Highly recommended family lawyer

Highly recommend Jeff for anyone in need of an excellent family attorney. As a dad in NJ, I felt like the odds were stacked against me from the start. My case dragged on for months, but Jeff never gave up—he kept pushing and ultimately got me a resolution that was more than fair. Don’t go through the... courts alone. If you’re fighting for your fair share of custody, Jeff is the guy you want in your corner.

finally

Jeff was great, and always had my best interests in mind. My divorce was needlessly drawn out- because the other party was basically refusing to engage... but they finally relented, We had no property, no kids, & basically no money; it should have been extremely cut & dry; Jeff tried every av...enue possible- & finally we got it done. Anyway, he had my back the whole time and did his best every step of the way, and today, I am divorced! So, I am super grateful.
