    Jennifer Weisberg Millner

    Shareholder

    Jennifer Weisberg Millner is a Shareholder and Chair of Stark & Stark’s Family Law & Divorce practice. She is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a matrimonial law attorney.

    Jennifer concentrates her practice in divorce, custody, adoption, and appeals. She is also certified in collaborative law, a method of dispute resolution in which the parties and their attorneys mutually agree to reach a settlement outside the courtroom without resorting to litigation.

    With over 30 years of family law experience, Jennifer has developed thorough knowledge of the complicated issues involved in divorce, separation, custody, support and a myriad of other family court matters. She’s well-versed in resolving complex equitable distribution matters involving executive compensation and business and professional practice valuations.

    Jennifer is deeply familiar with the complex legal, and emotional challenges that arise when families must turn to the legal system to solve their differences, and she is adept at helping her clients navigate that uncertain terrain to reach their desired destination.

    Jennifer also has extensive trial experience in matters involving contested custody, including those involving special needs children. She works frequently with members of the LGBTQ community to resolve the unique challenges they face in family matters.

    In addition to her trial court experience, Jennifer argues in both the New Jersey Appellate Division and New Jersey Supreme Court. When court involvement is the best option, Jennifer is a client’s closest ally and their fiercest advocate.

    Jennifer is a contributor to the firm’s blogs on personal injury and family law topics. She is also a member of Stark & Stark’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
