What happens when a girl who majored in psychology and sociology because she was drawn to children and how family interactions shape everything they become starts her career as a foster care caseworker in New York at twenty years old, watches families without resources pass through a system that will permanently alter their children's lives and thinks she will do this work forever, applies to a master's in social work program, gets guided by someone to take the LSAT instead, spends the next twenty years building a personal injury practice — first as a paralegal, then as an attorney — while the original pull never fully lets go, loses her mother and needs to refill her purpose, In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Ana Milena Goncalves of AMG Law in Paramus, New Jersey, about building a bilingual English and Spanish family law practice in Bergen County from nothing — and what it meant to finally be doing the work she had been working toward since she was twenty years old watching biological parents lock eyes with their children during supervised visits and seeing the love there even when everything else had fallen apart. Ana explains why the moment divorce papers land on your doorstep is not the moment to figure out what you want — it is the moment to contact an attorney, know your deadlines, and write your goals and non-negotiables on paper before you say another word to anyone. She walks through the critical difference between a temporary and final restraining order in New Jersey — where a final restraining order carries no sunset clause, no automatic expiration, fingerprinting, a fine, and a permanent registry entry that can only be lifted by filing a motion back to court — why the two-prong Silver v. Silver standard means that a domestic violence victim who answers the judge's question with "no, I'm not afraid right now" because they feel safe in a courtroom full of officers has just lost their final restraining order hearing with that single word, and what a self-represented litigant who walks into that hearing without knowing that standard is up against before the first question is asked. She also covers what each family court docket in Bergen County actually handles — FV for domestic violence, FO for contempt of a TRO, FD for unmarried parents navigating custody and child support, FM for divorce — what the Case Information Statement is and why it functions as the financial Bible in any alimony or equitable distribution case and terrifies nearly every client who has to fill it out, and why the $499 divorce attorney is the single biggest myth about how divorce works in New Jersey. They also discuss the father who had not had a single overnight with his three-year-old son and walked out of court with overnights and the ability to travel, why Ana will represent both domestic violence victims and people accused of it but reserves the right as the founder of her own firm to interview a potential client and decline the representation on moral grounds — a decision that was never hers to make when a file landed on her desk at someone else's firm — what fostering taught her that law school never touched and she says the word with emphasis: empathy, bolded and underlined, Ana Milena Goncalves is the founder of AMG Law, LLC in Paramus, New Jersey, a bilingual English and Spanish family law attorney serving Bergen and Passaic counties, a certified mediator for economic aspects of family law cases through the New Jersey Courts, a graduate of Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, a member of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, and a former personal injury attorney with nearly twenty years of legal experience who finally came home to the work she always intended to do.
