If you file for divorce and you are covered, your spouse cannot cancel during divorce litigation.
The divorce agreement was for the Defendant to be moved out in 2005. She did not move out until Dec 2016. Also, all money owed to the Plaintiff was to come out of the home.

It depends on if a true economic break occurred when he/she left. There is case law to support her not getting anything. Consult and hire an experienced divorce attorney in New Jersey.

From your description it does not seem like there would be a problem unless he skipped court and there is a warrant.

If the other party does not agree you would have to file a motion/application in court for a court order permitting them to travel outside of the country.

Did you file a substitution of attorney? If you did not, he or she may have to appear until the Judge releases the attorney from the case.

A divorce can take as little as 45 days or more than a year depending on the issues, county, the ability of the parties to reach an agreement on at least some issues or all. A party cannot be forced into an agreement and that is what can take the longest or lead to a trial.

Your friend should be careful on trying to handle the situation on her own. It would be wise for him or her to consult with a lawyer and figure a way to hire one.

Your new wife should have nothing to do with the college contribution. She should not have to reveal her income and assets.

It depends on if there is a court order. If there isn't an order addressing this, you should go back to family court and address this issue before it becomes the status quo and a court may not change it.
I obligated to split have the value w/him?
answered on Jun 28, 2015
The quick answer is if you used money your own money post divorce complaint, that asset is yours. If you obtained the asset from marital funds then those funds must be accounted for.
All assets in my name only including bank accounts/brokerage accounts which I had prior to marriage. What will she be entitled to? Have 3 young children
answered on Jun 28, 2015
The value of the house should be yours unless you added money to the asset during the marriage then the spouse could be entitled to the increase from that addition. If your spouse lived in the home, your spouse may be entitled to a share in the house if it was the marital home.
My present atty says it has no impact on what she can get per month but I got a second opinion saying she can not show need looking for solid advice

When alimony is in consideration, all assets are considered. Even though these assets are not subject to equitable distribution, all assets available to a party can be considered.
