Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Divorce

You can appear at the final hearing by speaker phone but you will have to have an attorney in court verifying it is you on the telephone. I would be willing to charge you a flat fee for this limted servide.

Call me if you like.

Re: Divorce

You want to file an Answer and Counterclaim also asking for divorce, and for your maiden name, and to incorporate the settlement agreement into the divorce judgment.

Signing the acknowledgment did NOT destroy your ability to get your maiden name. You DO need to take the needed steps to get back your maiden name and to put the settlement agreement into force.

You may be able to have an attorney represent you in an uncontested divorce, for a modest flat fee. It may even work out cheaper to have an attorney handle it on an hourly basis, because the real work was done and over when you both signed a property settlement agreement.

There are some difficulties, however, with an attorney representing you, because the new attorney will have NO information to confirm that the property settlement agreement is fair to you except for the information that your first attorney obtained. You will need to talk that over, a bit.

Call if I can be of assistance.

You can then decide how you would like to proceed.
