Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Divorce

Your wife may be entitled to receive one-half of the increase in value in the house as long it served as your marital residence.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: Divorce

hi -

she may be entitled to part of the increased value of the house, if any, from the date of the marriage until the date of the filed complaint for divorce. other considerations, like the length of marriage and so on, are also considered. feel free to call me if you have further questions.

Re: Divorce

In addition to what the other attorneys said, she may be able to get even more than that. However, she shouldn't get half of the house itself. If you get divorced, you should get an attorney. If you think things are rocky but there is still a chance, I know a good divorce mediator I can refer you to.

My intial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
