Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Child Support
My husband was divorced ten years ago. At the time of his divorce, he had no real property. His ex wife waived her rights to his pension. Now her lawyer is demanding to see a breakdown of everything we own now. Everything we have is under both of our names, based on both of our salaries. Nothing was acquired prior to his divorce. Does his ex wife have the right to things we purchased together long after his divorce was final? Examples, our house, cars, time share, retirement plans.
Thank you

Re: Child Support
Nothing acquired after the divorce with funds acquired after the divorce or with funds received by your husband as part of the equitable distribution of marital property in the
divorce is subject to distribution to the wife.
First of all, the former wife has to demonstrate some reasonable likelihood that your husband hid some marital asset during the prior marital and denied his former wife her fair share of same.

Re: Child Support
Her attorney is demanding information? No advice over the internet will solve this problem. You need a divorce attorney.
Find someone reasonably near you who spends a large part of his/her law practice representing people in divorces. Get a lawyer fighting for you.
The short answer to your question is NO, your info does not belong in your husband's exwife's hands. But the solution is not so simple. Get a good lawyer.

Re: Child Support
I agree with Mr. Davies. I can't figure out what they are driving, at least from a legal basis. I know what they want, but don't see how they can possibly get at it. However, you still need a good attorney to fight this. Depending on how meritless this action is, you could get your attorney's fees back. My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your case.
Good luck!
