ABOUT THE CLE COURSE
The CLE course is titled Un-Arrange a Marriage: An Introduction to Family Law, With a Focus on Forced Marriage.
The course offers a comprehensive review of New Jersey matrimonial law, covering every step of the divorce process -- from filing the complaint to addressing issues of equitable distribution, child custody, child support and alimony. Includes a discussion of arranged/forced marriage in New Jersey and the legal and ethical issues involved.
The course is taught by experienced matrimonial law attorneys. It is worth eight CLE credits, including one ethics credit (CLE course approval is pending). More information is at unchainedatlast.org.

Many thanks,
