Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

NJ Common Law, Alimony & Joint Property Dissolution

Although NJ does NOT have a Common Law Marriage Statute what happens when 2 people separate after purchasing a home and all the furnishings together as a family with the intent of marriage. What happens to the woman who gave up her single role as a mother in a secure apartment who now is asked to leave all she helped build... Are there any protections for her & her child ???

Thank you for your inquiry.

The family Court can help you as far as child support, and the civil Court may be able to grant you relief with respect to your joint assets.

It would be my pleasure to speak to you about your situation. Accordingly, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss further. As I will be in trial Monday, March 25, 2002, I will call you upon my return to the office.

Very truly yours,

Edward R. Weinstein
