Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: divorce

I have read your question. The chances are huge that he is in fact cheating, according to what you have said.

Your situation is horrible. You need an attorney's assistance to tell you what the law is, figure out what your choices are, and try to choose how to proceed. This will not be easy, but much better with a good divorce 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: divorce

It is not clear from your question whether your divorce would be governed by New York or New Jersey law. Therefore, I will not directly answer your question as the advise I give is dependent upon in which state you live.

I suggest you immediately contact an attorney to discuss your rights.

Re: divorce

You should consult a matrimonial attorney in your area. The first question you have to answer is whether your divorce will be in New Jersey or New York.

Re: divorce

Proving adultery is not hard. All that is required is that two people stay in the same space, along, for an extended period of time. His calling another woman is also an indication of a secret life, but be practical leave when it is more financially feasible, unless he earns ample money to support you while you care for young children and restore yourself.

Call me if you like.

Re: divorce

The cause of action in a divorce is rarely litigating. I wouldn't worry about it. However, doing this pro se could be difficult because of the kids alone. I suggest you consult with an attorney before you do anything.
