Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My ex-husband (divorced in January 2011) died this past week. We have/had a divorce decree in which we had agreed to split 50/50 all debts and 50/50 any profit from the sale of our home. (The idea was for the profits to pay each persons share of the debt.) Since the divorce decree in January 2011 we had been cohabitating in the marital house, with our four children. Now that he has passed how does this effect the divorce decree terms? (I am being told that I now get 100% of the profits from the sale of the home and 100% of the debt, which would seem right but then others say that this isn;t true?????) Can you tell me how this will work and when I should go to an attorney to protect myself from anyone, such as his irate sister, from trying to lay claim to the propoerties that he and I had accumulated over the years, including the real estate/home? Thank you/

You have some very complex problems. You should sit down with a divorce attorney, and with your divorce judgment and the divorce agreement, and get some advice.
I can help you with this. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.
