Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Divorce

I am sorry to hear of your situation. Have you tried marriage counselling?

Your questions are reasonable, and important.

You can not get answers to all of your questions over this bulletin board. You need to meet with a divorce attorney, and find out what you are headed toward and what your options are.

You did not mention whether you have children.

You really need to sit down with an attorney and get some guidance. The decisions you make now will have a profound, serious and long lasting effect upon you and your children.

Please call me if you would like me to assist you. I am in Hackensack, right across from the Bergen County Courthouse.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru. This website, LawGuru, will NOT let me list my phone number in this response.

Disclaimer: Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The response that you have received is based only on the small amount of information which you have provided. 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

The sad truth is that if your wife wants a divorce, you will be getting a divorce. You will need to come to that acceptance and then discuss all of the financial and child issues (if applicable) to resolve matters amicably. I would suggest mediation before you obtain attorneys, because it may be less expensive and less emotional for you to go that route.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck!

Re: Divorce

As the other attorneys said, your best bet is to sit down with an attorney and discuss everything. There is much to go over. There is no reason not to speak with an attorney as many attorneys, such as myself, have free consultations. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss.

Re: Divorce

If she wants a divorce the courts of New Jersey will give her a divorce. As for alimony, I doubt that she would pay you alimony. If you earn $30,000 and she earns $40,000, the difference in income is $10,000 per year. Half of the difference is $5,000 and it will not allow you to maintain the same style of living or a different style of living than the one you would enjoy without alimony.

What will happen to your house depends on a number of variables. You will have to see me in my office for an opinion on this.

Call me if you like.
