If you were given my name, here’s how I can help.
Hi, I’m Steve Kaplan, a divorce attorney here in Monmouth County.
Maybe someone gave you my name.
Maybe you saw it online or in a local forum.
Maybe you’re not even sure why you’re here—just that something in your life feels off, stuck, or broken.
If that’s the case, let me start with this:
You’re not alone.
You’re not crazy.
And you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
Let Me Tell You What I Do—and Why
For over 37 years, I’ve helped people in Monmouth County who are going through divorce or family breakdowns—many of them feeling like their lives are being pulled apart by forces they can’t control.
Sometimes it’s a controlling spouse.
Sometimes it’s an unexpected betrayal.
Sometimes it’s years of slow erosion that finally reach a breaking point.
And sometimes people aren’t even sure if they should get divorced.
They just know they can’t keep living like this.
That’s where I come in.
I’m not here to push you into anything.
I’m here to help you figure out what’s happening, what your rights are, and what your best next steps might be.
Why I Do This Work
I didn’t become a divorce lawyer to rack up billable hours or stir up courtroom drama.
I do this because I’ve seen what happens when good people get steamrolled by a system they don’t understand—or by spouses who know how to manipulate that system.
I've also seen what happens when someone finally gets clear, takes control, and walks out of a bad situation with their dignity, their future, and their relationship with their kids intact.
That’s what drives me. That’s why I’m still doing this work nearly four decades later.
What You Might Be Facing Right Now
If you’re anything like many of the clients I’ve helped, this might sound familiar:
-
“I don’t even recognize my spouse anymore.”
-
“I’m afraid to leave because I don’t know what that would do to my kids.”
-
“I’m being blamed for everything—and I’m starting to believe it.”
-
“I know I need to get out, but I’m scared of what comes next.”
-
“I just want clarity. I need a plan.”
You’re in the right place.
What I Help Clients Do
✅ Understand their rights under NJ divorce law
✅ Stay calm and protected when emotions run high
✅ Deal with controlling or manipulative spouses
✅ Navigate custody and parenting time issues
✅ Protect their home, their finances, and their future
I don’t believe in aggressive posturing just to show “toughness.”
I believe in smart strategy, calm strength, and being ten steps ahead.
Monmouth County Is My Home
I’ve lived here most of my life. I’ve raised a family here.
I know the people, the courts, the judges, the rhythms of this county.
You don’t need some giant law firm from the city.
You need someone who understands how things work here—and who understands you.
