Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: alimony contested

As you can see from the responses of the other two attorneys, this could get complicated and your alimony could be at risk.

You should hire a divorce attorney (this is a divorce type problem) and get some answers. This is a developing area of law in New Jersey, Domestic Partnerships are fairly new, and your attorney is going to be able to give you a summary of the existing law, and an opinion of where the law will go with situations like yours.

Please call me if you would like an attorney to assist you. I am in Hackensack, right across from the Bergen County Courthouse.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru. This website, LawGuru, will NOT let me list my phone number in this response.

The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

Re: alimony contested

If you don't need and/or use all of the alimony he pays you, he could file for a reduction. If you guys are in a relationship, you can get a DP in NJ so he could make an argument to cut it off all together.

Re: alimony contested

You are raising a novel question. Cohabitation by a woman with a man who is not her husband can be a basis for terminating alimony. You are descibing the same situation with a female companion. In theory, it is possible your alimony could be terminated for your cohabitation with

your significant other who is a woman.

Call me if you like.
