Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Using Drugs

I found out my husband was using drugs and blew all our money away. He was secretly on heroin for 2 years and married me anyway. Can I get any of that money back? Aren't I etitled to something?

Re: Using Drugs

I would immediately seek the services of an experienced divorce attorney. In a divorce action debts of the marriage are equitably divided and based on the limited information, if there are any assets left, you might be able to get a credit back for the money he took for his drug addiction.

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.
