Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: divorce help

New Jersey is an equitable distribution state, meaning that all the assets of the marriage and all the debt get divided equally. If you have premarital property, that might be exempt from distribution. You can leave the home without a penality, however, I would suggest you seek the services of an attorney to put together a plan of action before you leave.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.

Disclaimer: You can not rely on the advice of an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

Re: divorce help

All very important questions and issues with no realistic way to give you an answer in this format. Only a meeting with an attorney, where all of the detail can be provided, will be able to provide you with direction. Minor changes in factual detail would give a far different answer and I hesitate to give you information that may turn out to be incorrect if a detail is different.

If you live in Camden, Gloucester or Burlington Counties, I would be happy to offer you a free one hour consultation. If you want to take advantage of this, call my office. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

All property acquired during a marriage, excluding gifts and inheritance, is split on a 50/50 basis, normally.

Call if you like.

Re: divorce help

I suggest you meet with a lawyer as you have some important issues going on here. You can leave the house without any penalty. Keep in mind that 98% of divorces settle. Thus, you don't "have" to do anything. You can settle the case in any way you would like. If you would like to give her the house and contents and you keep the rest, then you "can" do that. However, it takes two to make an agreement and if she is not on board, your not going to get far.

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