Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

What you are asking , I think, is whether the obligation to provide college support to the children would survive his death so that the children would have a claim against his estate. I would advise you to review the property settlemtn agreement/Order carefully to see if it deals with the eventuality of his death. I would also suggest to you that you should consult with an attorney to see how you can protect his assets, bank accounts, etc. I would note that pension benefits are controlled by a contract, usually, providing for benefits for the spouse and any 409K

can be have you added as a joint tenant, with the right of survivorship, which should exclude it from his estate.

You need to carefully review your situation with an attorney.

You need to talk to a lawyer right now. If he dies, you need something to take the place of the money he will not pay. This is an emergency, get on it now.

I can help you with this. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.
