Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: equitable distribution

I would think that whatever you each received by way of equitable distribution in the first divorce is not subject to equitable distribution in this divorce unless you made a gift of some item to the other during the second marriage. Whatever was acquired during the second marriage and gifted to one another during the second marriage should be subjected to distribution. Of course whatever was inherited or received as a gift from third parties during the second marriage is not part of the marital estate and not subject to equitable distribution.

Re: equitable distribution

Your question really can not be answered with such little information. The answer is that it depends upon the circumstances and what is being distributed. If you would like to further discuss this matter, please contact my secretary, Debbie, at 856-795-6700 to schedule a consultation.
