Divorce is not about winning. No one wins.

Rita began practicing law in 1986 as an associate of Jacoby & Meyers in Burlington, NJ, with an emphasis on family law, divorce and bankruptcy. She left Jacoby & Meyers in 1988 to form Polonsky & Polonsky with her husband, Alan, practicing family law exclusively.. With a proven record of negotiating agreements, as well as maintaining an excellent rapport with colleagues and Judges, Rita is motivated by her ability to help people through the process of divorce in a caring and comforting manner. She acknowledges that divorce is the result of the breakdown of a relationship between two people who once loved each other. Her results are driven by what is fair and honest, balancing expectations with the reality of divorce and what the law allows. In an emotionally charged process, Rita’s belief is divorce does not have to be devastating. There can be compromise.. While raising her own child, Rita developed the philosophy of supporting children and providing unconditional love in good and bad times. The process of divorce can be overwhelming, especially when children are involved. She is passionate about being of value to her clients, allowing them the space to open up and trust her to walk with them through one of the most difficult journeys they may face.
