- Q. How to ensure fair division of marital home sale proceeds in NJ divorce?
- A: I dont know if your spouse's lawyer has legitimate reasons for seeking an unequal division of the home's equity or if he is simply taking that position because you are a pro se litigant but since he is suggesting to your spouse not to agree to an equal division, Im guessing that there are factors he feels are in his favor. You may also have legitimate reasons / entitlement for an unequal division in your favor as well, but doing this on your own, without understanding what each side may be entitled to and why is probably not a great idea. It probably makes sense for you to retain a lawyer knowledgeable in this area to work with you and / or to take over your representation.
- Q. Impact of victim's input in a NJ parole hearing for domestic violence case.
- A: Im sorry for what occurred and how you were made to feel, but you are better off asking a criminal law attorney who has been involved in parole proceedings his / her view on the impact of your response to questions presented. As a divorce and family law attorney, I handle domestic violence matters regularly, but we are not involved in the criminal aspect of those proceedings.
- Q. How to move out of state with kids pending divorce in NJ?
- A: The law in New Jersey changed radically a few years back concerning relocation by a primary custodial parent if the other parent objects. Under the new law, it's much tougher to relocate with the children since the focus is on the nature and quality of the relationship between the other parent and the children and what is best for the children. This is not an issue you want to tackle without an experienced family law attorney, knowledgeable in handling relocation claims.
