Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Wife wants a divorce

You should think about your choices very carefully, with the assistance of a divorce attorney. You seem to be planning on doing your divorce without an attorney.

Now, don't take this wrong, but let me summarize:

you are in the middle of a divorce.

You and your soon to be ex both probably have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with.

you have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.

Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child.

Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.

Re: Wife wants a divorce

You can not be forced to sell the house now, but if your wife is determined to sell the house she may resort to tactics which may make living in the house unbearable.

Secondly, houses sell best in the Spring. If you are going to sell the house anyway it might be best to accommodate this reality now. Thirdly, the house may take a while to sell.

Fourthly, you could have the house appraised and refinance giving her her half of the equity in the house.

Of course, this might be beyond your means.

Call me if you like.
