Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Being ignored
I filed for divorce almost 2 years ago. My lawyer has not been helpful. I am ready now for it to be over. Wife left 2 yrs ago. We have two children who have lived with me for the last 9 months and I want to keep it that way. Wife does not work and is not in contact much. I have been paying her money each month. Can I now change my grounds to 18 month living seperately or desertion and get this over with and have custody of my kids?

Re: Being ignored
Your main problem seems to be that your attorney is ignoring you. Make an appointment with him/her and get all of your questions answered about the status of your case. If you are not satisfied with the answers, fire the attorney and find another one. You and your attorney need to be in tune with each other. Once the two of you are on the same page, you should be able to make progress. There may still be delays based on issues that need to be resolved with your wife and her attorney, but at least you won't have the additional problem of an attorney who does not seem interested in you. If you want me to assist you, feel free to call me at 856-546-8010. Mention LawGuru and your first consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
