Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
left out UTMA account in separation agreement
My husband and I signed a separation agreement, but the agreement didn't list the UTMA account, since I drafted the agreement, can I be accused for hidding asset from the agreement? My husband is claiming the agreement is not fair, if I file a motion to reemforce the agreement, would the agreement be set aside because the UTMA account didn't listed?

Re: left out UTMA account in separation agreement
I have read what the other attorney said, and as usual Gary Moore is correct. You may be required to share the account.
However, that is not the whole story, and I do not have enough information to give you any advice at all. You might not be required to share that account; and if it is for the benefit of one of your children, there are a couple of ways to handle it.
Let me add: it sounds clearly like you do not have an attorney. Get an attorney. Do not do this alone.
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. Yes it will cost you; yes, it is worth it.
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.
