Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Any financial relationship that parties work out and is agreeable to them is "legal". I don't think that is really your question, however. You seem to be expressing an opinion that this financial arrangement is unfair. That is a totally different issue and subject to discussions between parties. For example, some couples agree that one person will stay home and take care of the children (and possibly elderly parents) while the other works and financially supports that situation. To them, that is fair. Others may believe that is totally unfair. Others may believe that both parties should earn some of the money and also split the day to day caring of the children. That is fair to them, but might not be fair to that first couple. All of these situations are legal; it's just a matter of the parties being open and honest with each other and deciding how they want to operate their family, physically and financially.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact an attorney to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. Good luck!
