Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Whats him to pay for college

I am not sure what you asking, whether he has to pay her college costs or the kids or both. A long term marriage can trigger alimony, and payment of college costs for a spouse could be ordered as part of rehabilitative alimony. There are many factors that go into this and can't be fully answered with the information you provided.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.

Re: Whats him to pay for college

have your friend go talk to (and pay) a divorce attorney. it might be appropriate for him to pay, or it might not. it depends on a couple of things. now i will tell you to tell your friend the same thing i tell everyone who does not have a divorce attorney when getting divorced:

Now, dont take this wrong, but let me summarize:

you want a divorce, sometime soon.

you have a job.

you might have kids.

child support and college tuition needs to be paid. measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

you probably have a house, and maybe some money saved. you might have a pension plan.

and you want to do this without an attorney's advice.

I can not say any good words. No, I will not give you advice, because 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 kids.

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.

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.

Re: Whats him to pay for college

College for who, the wife? I never heard of that and I don't see how thats going to happen. I'm not in my office so this is just my gut reaction. As Mr. Davies said, your friend needs to meet with an attorney ASAP. If you would like, give me a call at 732/247/3340. My initial consultations are always free. You can give me more info with this case and I can give you a much better answer.

Good luck!

Re: Whats him to pay for college

If it is a long term marriage, more than ten years, he faces PERMANENT alimony. Paying for college, if he can afford it, might be in his best interest because it would mean that she will be able to SUPPORT HERSELF.
