Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
House title after divorce
I have been divorced several years and remarried. The ex just continues to bring me back to court about just about anything she and her attorney friend can dig up. They must stay up late planning their strategy! Anyway, in just about every instance I have been forced to list my assets. I actually am currently considering refinancing my mortgage because of a result of a legal issue with the ex. My questions are, if I refinance and place the title solely in my current wife's name, do I still have to list it as an asset in future potential proceedings? If so, would this action at least prevent me from losing my house?

Re: House title after divorce
Ah, yes. The song is over, but the melody lingers on.
I am sorry for your continuing misery with your ex. This is not uncommon.
You do not provide sufficient information for any attorney to give you solid advice. However, what you have said raises some thoughts in my mind: why are you still litigating what your assets are? why are you still defending yourself in Court long after a divorce judgment should have terminated and resolved most issues?
To answer your question, refinancing and giving your house to your second wife is not something to do without some expert advice. And it is not likely to succeed in cutting off whatever claims your ex may have based upon your ownership of that house. Why is your house an issue?
I recommend that you hire and pay an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you. I am such an attorney. This website does not allow me to give you my phone number nor email address. Please look me up in the phone book; whitepages.com is good.
Good luck,
