Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Forebearance

I have read what the other attorneys have written. As usual, Jef is right on point. The other attorney is correct also.

You are probably not in the northern portion of New Jersey, where I am. So, I will strongly suggest that you go to an attorney now, an attorney who spends most of his or her time on divorce and has been doing divorce for several years. Have the lawyer look at the divorce judgment and give you some advice. You will have to pay the attorney for the advice; it will be worth it.

Please do not agree to anything until you get a lawyer's advice. You could lose thousands of dollars.

Disclaimer: Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. You can not rely on the statements made by an attorney given over the internet. The exact facts of your situation, including facts which you have not mentioned in your question, may completely change the result for your situation.

Re: Forebearance

Depending on any prior agreement (1) Your ex can move for reduction of alimony as a change in circumstances, (2) you (or your attorney) can take any position you want before the Court (or work out an agreement), (3) you may have counsel even if he goes it alone, (4) there are not enough facts to answer whether you need a lawyer, (5) the Court can alter the support arrangement temporarily or otherwise with a Court Order.

You should talk with an attorney about the specifics of your case.

Re: Forebearance

Losing a job is a changed circumstance that can have an impact on your alimony. I would always suggest getting an attorney for these types of situations. My firms focuses on post-judgment motions such as this. It shouldn't be expensive and you will have a much better chance of having things done correctly.
