Family Law, Divorce and Prenuptial Agreements
The Rivkind Law Firm represents individuals throughout New Jersey in divorce, prenuptial agreements, and postnuptial agreements. Shari A. Rivkind has represented clients in matrimonial matters for nearly 40 years and brings her business law experience to family matters involving a company or professional practice.
Shari and her daughter, attorney Morgan J.

Through their blog, weekly newsletter, podcast, social media reels, and YouTube videos, they answer questions that come up along the way, from “What does our venue deposit actually cover?” to “My partner asked for a prenup. Where do I start?” The firm also reviews wedding contracts, handles vendor disputes, and drafts the agreements wedding professionals use with their clients.
