Q: Confused over deadline to execute a NJ divorce settlement before alimony deduction ends- court approval?
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
You really need to have this document prepared by an experienced matrimonial attorney and the divorce completed prior to December 31, 2018. Trying to represent yourself in Court is a bad idea. Not only are you emotionally involved, but you are not a trained attorney. You do not know the Court Rules, Rules of Evidence, case law, nor are you trained how to handle a legal case, especially if litigation is involved. However, if you do not retain counsel, and the opposing party does have counsel,...

Q: Bankruptcy
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
Yes, that makes it all the more urgent for you to file for Bankruptcy. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is not simply filling out forms. Trying to handle this matter yourself is not wise. You do not know the USBC, you do not know the local rules of Bankruptcy and if there was an adversary proceeding started against you, or an objection filed to your plan, you would be like a deer in the headlights. To properly answer your questions and address your concerns, the best way to handle this is with an in person...

Q: I am in chapter 13 and paying my mortgage and back arrears !
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
If you don't already have an experienced Chapter 13 attorney, then you need to get one. This is not the way to handle your case. You are NOT likely to get a refinance while in Bankruptcy and if the mortgage broker you spoke to told you that, then they are clueless or have some nefarious motivation. You need to seek a mortgage loan modification through the Bankruptcy Court's mortgage modification program, you are so far in over you head, you have no clue. Trying to represent yourself in Court...

Q: How can my retained lawfirm get all records of filings, hearings and court orders in my custody case?
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
That is completely absurd and obscene. Contact the NJ State Bar Ethics committee and report this. You should get a significant refund it not all of it. You really need a new law firm. The Court file if it is still in the local court can be copied at the Court by paying the Court the required fee per page. If the file is in the Court storage system in Trenton, it will take long to obtain, but it will not even cost $500.00 worst case scenario, unless transcripts of Court proceedings have to be...

Q: If a Real Estate Contract states a closing date on or before Oct. 15th, how many days can it be extended to?
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
That depends on what the parties to the contract are willing to agree to. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE! YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY WHO IS LICENSED IN YOUR STATE FOR LEGAL ADVICE. This is merely suggestions for you to think about in discussing your situation with the local attorney.

Q: Retro Child Support in New Jersey
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
There is no retroactive child support in NJ absent unpaid child support pursuant to a Court Order. Trying to represent yourself in any legal proceeding, especially a family matter is unwise, to put it charitably. You need an in person consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney, who can review all previous legal proceedings and documents. Then the attorney will be able to advise you how to proceed. You need to ask yourself, can I afford not to have an attorney? Good luck.

Q: Will consolidating student loans during a bankruptcy prevent discharge after a 341 meeting?
Leonard R. Boyer's answer
There is almost no way to discharge student loans in Bankruptcy, unless you have one foot in the grave and the other slipping in. The only exception is if it is not a regular student loan.
