Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: how to divide real estate when divorcing

Let me summarize:

you are in the middle of a divorce.

You may have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with. Your spouse may have a job.

you may have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child.

Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

Re: how to divide real estate when divorcing

You stated that "we" bought an apartment which is in your wife's name. If that is the case the equity in same, as of the date of distribution, is split on a 50/50

basis.

You can make an agreement between you,

without the assistance of an attorney, but I would strongly advise that you at least consult with an attorney before prior to entering into such an agreement.

Call me if you like.

Re: how to divide real estate when divorcing

I agree with Mr. Moore, I suggest you at least speak to an attorney before doing anything. If this is all you have, you may not need an attorney. However, there may be issues out there that you are not considering.
