Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Removing alimony, returning 50% pension if both parties agree

Thank you for your inquiry.

If both agree, a Consent Order can be prepared and submitted to the Court regarding alimony and pension rights. However, I need to learn more facts before determining whether or not alimony could be reduced.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your situation, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,

Re: Ending Alimony

Alimony determinations can be changed (at least in NJ) based on substantial change of circumstance. Exactly what kind of change is "substantial" varies, depending on the facts and the Judge. Parties can come to a binding agreement to change Court Ordered determinations. Those agreements should be reduced to writing. The twist in your case, however, may be whether NJ or VA has jurisdiction. If no agreement can be reached, some Court will need to determine which state has jurisdiction before the factual issues are determined. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to 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. Mention Law Guru and your first consultation is free. Good luck!

If your divorce took place in Virginia, arrange to

consult with a Virginia attorney to see what

modifications might be feasible in the temporary support and the pension allotment which were awarded to your former spouse.
