Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: The House

Sounds like you don't have an attorney. I suggest you at least talk to one as this issue has to be dealt with. A motion needs to be filed and this issue must be resolved so this doesn't fall on you.

Re: The House

Since the house is a marital asset, so is the debt. If the house is sold at a loss, she is also responsible for part of that loss. You need to see an attorney quickly to get this resolved or you will be stuck with this debt.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have

provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one

can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice

because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not

already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation

before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more

detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck!

Re: The House

You are equally obligated to pay marital debt and the mortgage is marital debt. Do you have children?

If she moved with the children that is one thing. If she moved out with nor child that is quite another matter.

It seems that you are going to suffer some kind of loss. Hopefully you will be able to pay off the mortgage.

Call me if you like.
