Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: marriage

You have a right to alimony and equitable distribution (an amount paid for the value of the business). If there is money controlled by him alone, you can ask the Court to allow you counsel fees and other monies upfront which he would have to pay or allow you to access.

Consider consulting with counsel as soon as possible. Our office confronts these problems for clients frequently if you care to contact us for a consultation.

You have options. the fact that he is now in control of finances and everything is not a huge obstacle.

Let me summarize what SEEMS to be your situation:

You seem to indicate that you are headed toward a divorce.

Very very likely, you are going to have to start a divorce. You need to solve some problems in your life and your children's lives, and a divorce is pretty much needed; that is what I understand that you are saying.

Employment, income to pay the family's expenses, is an issue.

You have kids: custody and vistation, and child support are issues.

Child support and college tuition needs to be paid. Measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

You have a house, and maybe some money saved. You have a pension plan; your spouse has a pension plan.

Go see a decent, experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and have the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance. A good attorney could save you thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache, make your life more manageable, and reduce the harm to the kids. When choosing an attorney, make sure it is someone whose personality works for you, someone you can work with.

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.

You need to get a good attorney and file a motion to get all of the money you should have access to.

Re: marriage

You have a lot of issues that need to be examined by an experienced attorney. You can file with the Court and get an order for temporary support, alimony and require your husband to maintain the bills while the divorce proceeds. You will also have issues as to the value of the business, his income and other complicated issues.

You get one shot to have this done correctly. Hire an experienced attorney to help you.
