Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
I have being seperated from my wife for 5months now. We own a property together, with 3 children. I left my home to try to see if things will work out for the best. For the past 5 years that we purchase the property, we have no peace for each other. I recommended that we should seek some professional help. She refuses. She insisted that i should go and seek help alone. I told her that couples with problems, goes for help together. So i decided for the sake of the children, to rent an apartment. I accepted a part-time job, to help with the bills, and morgage. Keeping 2 jobs and helping with all the bills, is very difficult. I tried to communicate with her, to reason with her, especially, with the children. She is just being difficult, and she is using the children, to get back at me. She doest not want me to see in my own house.
I asked her, if thereis a middle person in this. She said no. We have being together for over 20years. I don't know what to do at this point.

You need to speak to an attorney now. Whether you hire one or not is another story, but at least listen to what he or she says. The long and short of it is as follows, by moving out, you have caused a number of problems as you seem to have figured out. The longer you let this go on, the worse it can get for you. This situation needs to be handled right away. If you stay out, you may never get back in. If you go in, she could file a TRO against you. So how do you fix all of this? That's where an attorney comes in.

I agree you need to seek the advice of an attorney. While you cannot force her to go to counselling, there are avenues you might want to pursue to help protect you, and diffuse the situation. Again, I agree the longer you wait, the worse it could get - especially when it comes to visitation and custody.
