Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Divorce
If a divorce decree did not mention that a spouse should pay for legal cost after a divorce procedure, is the spouse obligated to pay for any legal cost incurred after the divorce?
After a divorce is final, should the spouse with the bigger pension sign off on the pension before he/she reaches retirement age?
How will the pension disbursed? is it in increments or lump sum?

Re: Divorce
Now, don't take this wrong, but let me summarize:
you are in the middle of a divorce.
You and your soon to be ex both probably have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with.
you 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.

The answer to your first question is no. With regard to your other questions, I suggest that you contact your attorney to discuss it in person.

You question is puzzling. These questions should have been dealt with in your property settlement agreement before your divorce was finalized.
