Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
notarized letters
I have a question regarding nortarized letters. I'm going through a divorce in the beginnning stages. We don't have any property together we only have a child together. I have the opportunity to buy this house in my area that is really nice and it's in my price range. My real estate agent suggested I get my soon to be ex-husbnd to write a lteer stating that he will not try to claim any rights to the house once we divorce and then get it notraized. My questions is this, will that hold up in court if he deceided to change his mind about claiming the house I want to buy?

If you buy the house with a marital asset the house could be treated as a marital asset in a divorce.

Re: notarized letters
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.
You may have a job. Your soon-to-be ex-spouse has a job.
you have a child, and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
and you want to do this without an attorney's advice.
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.

First, get an attorney, don't rely on a real estate agent. Second, notary or no notary, he will never haved waived his rights knowingly, so thus, it will be pointless.
