Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Filing divorce through power of attorney

The person who is filing the divorce needs to sign the divorce complaint.

The mother could pay the filing fee and mail the divorce complaint for the daughter.

But the daughter MUST want to file the divorce, and must sign off on the complaint.

This question seems like part of a bigger problem.

Re: Filing divorce through power of attorney

It depends on the language in the power of attorney, and the circumstances regarding the competency of your mother. I would sugguest you consult with an attorney in your area who can review the specific facts of your matter and read your power of attorney.
