Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

He can say anything he wants to say. However, the law is that any jointly owned property, or any property owned in the name of one party that serves as the marital residence, is subject to equitable distribution between the parties.

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 at 856-546-8010 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! Rob Gleaner

He can say whatever he wants but a house purchased during marriage is a marital asset subject

to distribtuion between the parties.

Call me if you like.

I agree with the other attorneys. My question to you is, why don't you have an attorney yet? Call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss anytime.

Sounds like you are in for a messy fight. Getting good counsel now is your best bet because a fight over the house is just the beginning....I am sure there are other assets/liabilities, maybe even some children. If you need help, feel free to contact me direct at [email protected] to set up a time to discuss all the options.
