Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey
Divorcing a Monster
After enduring 16 years with this alcoholic, pain pill abuser, verbally abusive animal, I can honestly say I've had enough! I want to make this divorce a quick and painless as possible, in other words, I don't want any problems. My STBX on the other hand is grasping for straws or anything he can pin on me. Through out our martial career, we have made several real estate transactions all in my name alone. He is now threatening to report me to the IRS as suppoisdly he had me involved in some sort of embezzing deal which in all honestly I haven't an idea what any of this is all about. Through out every transaction that occured, we had legal representation and nothing (as far as I'm aware of) was done underhandedly. How can I go back and check to make sure that everything that was ever done in my name has been on the up & up? And also, if he persists in this type of harassment, do have have any legal recourse such as to file a restrainting order to have him removed from the home? I honestly can't take even going home anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I a 4 y/o to take care of I'd probably run away until this was all done! Please advise.

You would need to get copies of your real estate files (from your attorney if you do not have documents) and your tax returns (from your accountant or the IRS if you do not have them) to see if all is OK.
Unless he were to commit acts constituting domestic violence he cannot be removed from the premises.
You should consult with counsel ASAP to determine your rights and develop a strategy that is workable.

Wow, this is a tough case and it may take more than one attorney to tackle it all. The most important thing you said was with regard to the criminal charges. I would want to get that out of the way first and then worry about the rest.
I handle both criminal and family law cases and my initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

He sounds like a nagging wife; he is just trying to dominate. Ignore him.
As for the transactions in which you had an attorney his threats seem silly
but purhaps you should review what you did with an attorney. You should also review the propects for a domestic violence complaint against him with an attorney.
Call me if you like.

Re: Divorcing a Monster
Four attorneys have replied so far, and the basic idea is pretty simple: go get a top-notch divorce attorney and also get all the records of the real estate deals together and have them reviewed.
What you need first is to get some advice from a divorce attorney. You are clearly crying out to get OUT of the house with him, it is causing you huge pain. But, you need to get some legal advice before you do that. You want to do that as soon as you can.
I also do this kind of work. Call if you like.
But, please, talk to a divorce attorney before you do anything.
