Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Out of the House
My wife left and took the kids. Says she will return if I agree to leave the house and allow the locks and security code changes. We've had a stormy relationship, she thinks I've been verbally abusive and I have been recently diagnosed with bipolar. She said she is afraid I will come in the home. If it's heading toward divorce anyway, does it matter if I acede to her demands, just so I can have my six month old and two year old back in their home? will I be able to sell the house and split proceeds at divroce, regadless of her demands? She has agreed to sign a statement saying I'm not giving up rights. WHat to do?

Re: Out of the House

what to do?

GET A LAWYER!

DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU FIND, HIRE AND GET SOME ADVICE FROM A DIVORCE LAWYER!

Now, dont take this wrong, but let me summarize:

you are in the middle of a divorce. You have to deal with it very soon. yes, you are facing divorce.

You have a job. You have a house. You have other assets.

you have children, and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child.

Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.

Go hire a lawyer, and figure out what you want to do.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.
