Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Property After Divorce

Your sister-in-law has made a mess of things. Her soon-to-be-ex husband is in fact her husband, and she used joint assets to start the business. He might have a claim to a piece of it, yes.

She needs a lawyer. Today. Now.

Please have her meet with an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near her. It is crazy for her to put huge time and effort into her business, and have him come along and walk away with a large piece of the value of her business.

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: Property After Divorce

Your question does not make sense, how did they divorce 5 years ago without dividing the property? As part of a divorce, even a divorce from bed and board, all issues of equitable distribution have to be resolved. It is common in a divorce for the marital home to remain in both names until the kids are grown. I would need to see the divorce judgment and/or property settlement agreement to give you an answer.

Please 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. I will give you a free initial consultation.

Re: Property After Divorce

If you are saying that the final judgment of divorce contained no Order

or agreement between the parties equitably distributing the property between the parties then we have an

unusual situation for a slew of reasons which I would prefer to explain either on the telephone or in person.

Call me if you like.

Re: Property After Divorce

Yeah, I have to join the other attorneys by saying this is a real mess of a situation. He may have a claim to the business, but there is a way to handle all of this to avoid any problems. If he does decide to cause problems, there are still very good arguments to make that he should have no claim to the business. Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss the case. My consultations are always free.

Good luck!
