Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Recovery of 50/50 split of pension
NJ law requires an equal split of pension money at the time of the divorce. My former spouse is planning on re-marrying soon. After the nuptials can I reclaim the other half of my monthly pension money which she now receives?

Re: Recovery of 50/50 split of pension
NJ law does not require an equal split of pension money upon divorce. NJ law would require, in general, an equitable distribution of money earned during the course of the marriage. I would think that this should have been addressed at the time of your divorce. If not, it may be able to be dealt with now. In any case, you need to immediately seek the advice of an attorney to protect your interest. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Before you take any action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
