Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Yes, we would have to do some math to figure out how much it was worth then and how much it is worth now. However, you should never consider one issue in a vacuum as there are a number of moving parts in a divorce case that all impact on each other. Hire a good attorney and let him or her help you through the process.

She might be entitled to a portion of the increased value (if there is any) for the contributions made during the marriage but there are lot of facts to consider as it was a pre-marital asset and you do not indicate she was added to the deed, etc.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you.

Please call for an appointment if you are interested.

She might get a piece of it (the increase in value since you married). You should fight her on this. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and I will go over this with you, and give you some advice.
