Caring for our clients and customers should be the same – whether it is in the legal care we provide or the collision repair process. The point of this piece is to show how careful construction of an separation agreement – as is the NJ divorce process – is extraordinarily similar to the auto body repair process used by Vitale Collision Repair in doing any one of our collision repairs. The only difference is that the family law process is managed with our professionally set of attorneys while the car repair process is managed by our highly qualified team of collision repair professionals. A separation agreement is a legal document that addresses many issues, such as: A deed of separation is a conditional deed, which means that it enters into force at a clean day, often when both parties need time to think. A deed of separation often covers all or most issues relating to children, finances, and property – often to observed by the courts in the future, or following divorce. Creating a deed of separation may seem like a small task; however, its construction requires an extraordinary amount of attention to detail and professional experience. Any divorce lawyer’s omission of a word can lead to very serious issues because such an error could be used against your client in the future in court, or to enforce any provision of the agreement. This is similar to taking out just one word from a vital equation to a car repair adjacent to the body itself that could ultimately be the difference between saving the entire vehicle or totaling it. The process of drafting a deed of separation is much like the process of restoring a damaged car. Once the client assures that you are the appropriate lawyer for the job, a case manager will: In family law, the complexity of the case increases due to the very personal nature of the proceedings. In the legal process of divorce, the attorney has the responsibility to secure full financial information – often challenging because the person with whom you are going through this life changing chapter holds significant information regarding your finances. At Vitale Collision Repair, we have multiple resources to gather the necessary information. For instance, all of our estimators are I-CAR certified and have been trained thoroughly in their particular fields of expertise. We will use these specialists in conjunction with parts managers and autotech professionals to bring your vehicle to better than pre-accident condition. Sometimes, the worst damage is concealed beneath the panel and can only be revealed after the panel is removed. When this occurs, Vitale Collision Repair is prepared to repair the damage in-line with the manufacturer’s recommended repair procedures. Similar to how Vitale Collision Repair provides its employees with continuous education and training from the country’s top experts in the field, the firm provides its associates and staff with frequent seminars and advanced litigation courses to keep abreast of any changes in the law and current trends in the area of family law. While our focus is on doing the job right the first time and finishing the vehicle to exceed the manufacturer’s specifications, we emphasize to our staff, as with any other industry, the importance of repetitive training to avoid potential pitfalls in the future. For example, we take the time to invest in high-end IQS equipment, which is as expensive as top-shelf tools for your home garage, to get a highly accurate adjustment of your car panels to ensure that they are 100% restored to their proper configurations. At Vitale Collision Repair, a vehicle cannot leave the shop unless it first passes a test-drive with one of our certified professionals who carefully watches brake responsiveness, turns, clunks, and pulls in the car while driven on city roads and highways. Similar to how the law firm provides a dedicated and repeated quality check of each case so that all paperwork is completed properly, with all necessary provisions in place to prevent any gaps once the agreement is filed with the court. Whether the issue is a car or a court case, manufacturers enforce strict work processes, with step-by-step instructions which must be followed to pass the test and complete the procedure correctly. One critical aspect demanded of auto body workers is the repeated checking and verification by various departments and professionals within the workplace. Our specialized staff follows a strict guideline in line with factory specifications – just as a family law attorney follows a strict process for his or her cases. In fact, the particular length and detail of a NJ separation agreement truly depend on the complexity of the individual’s problem. For example, a substantive written document will require a more detailed outline of all issues to be resolved and remedies requested, whereas a simple separation usually requires only a few pages outlining all the essential agreements between both parties. As such, the NJ separation agreement cannot be completed without the utmost diligence of the attorney. Many divorce lawyers fail to cross every T and dot every I. Please ask questions, and seek clarifications if something in the agreement does not seem to add up because this could potentially have significant implications in the future. Again, the comparison to car repairs is unmistakable. If the headlights of your car are not working, will you not return to the shop to get the problem fixed? If there is a gap in your windshield wiper system, will you not get it done promptly? Similarly, it is very dangerous to leave out even the smallest detail of a separation agreement/collision repair, which can potentially cost you significantly down the road.
