Meaning it would now be EXHIBIT A, so do I change all of the other EXHIBITS down one in the alphabet (A becomes B; B to C, etc.), or do I add it in with a new letter (R in this case)?
This is just a simple technical question about how to add in an Exhibit. My Motion date isn't until... Read more »
I don't know what issue is being presented to the court, but if your application seeks reexamination of a support provision of the settlement agreement, you also must file your case information statement from the divorce and file a current case information statement. If you are filing an... Read more »
My ex has broken previous orders and is withholding my daughters from me.
Oral argument on motion practice is not the time to "cross-examine" the other side. On a typical "motion day" a family part judge has 10 -12 different applications pending before him and at least 8- 10 applications where the parties were not seeking oral argument. The... Read more »
I would schedule a consultation with a divorce specialist immediately to address what options are available to you to redress your ex's actions. Hacking into former spouses' emails is a serious claim and should be addressed properly by the court system.
Divorced in 2017 in N.J. Not amicably. I was awarded "life alimony". The ex just asked me to adjust alimony (no court involved, just "between us") to reflect his income loss for 2019 and 2020, and suggests 50 payments/year instead of 52.
My income is close to zero. He... Read more »
The real issue is whether your ex's income setting was impacted by Covid or whether he was claiming his income setting could not support his alimony obligation prior to Covid. If he was claiming to be unable to pay the amount of alimony owed in 2019, then the question is what took place... Read more »
Never sending child to day care while non custodial parent has to pay 50% of cost through child support?

She has a 4 year old son from a prior marriage who lives in Japan with his father; I have never had any contact with this child.

My guess is that at the time that an order was entered by a court, you and she were not living together and after entry of that order, you and she resumed living together, and presumably, the payments are being made through the county probation department system and either your wife takes the...

My girlfriend was married about 10 years ago. Stayed in the marriage for about a year. Never divorced. She dated 2 years later and got pregnant.

This is one of those "ouch" type matters with a lot of twists and turns, so its not that simple. At the heart of this matter is a guy who was legally married to your girlfriend at the time of the child's birth - meaning that he is presumed under the statute to be the child's... Read more »
I contacted USPS multiple times and they don’t know where it is. Ex says court date is scheduled for Jan 8th. What should I do?
As it stands, you know that your ex filed an application for termination of alimony ( I presume that term ..means termination) and therefore you need to act immediately since I can assure you that he will claim that not only did he send the papers to you but that you and he spoke by text or phone...

I plan on giving our son my last name, and I do not plan on changing it to his.
Believe it or not, there are numerous reported court decisions addressing this issue and it may make sense for you to speak with a family law attorney to get better educated on how a court may address the issue if presented. Is it possible that you and he can agree to hyphenate the name so that... Read more »

I need help to submit a modification request in New New Jersey. I live out of state. My kids are both In college and not at home. I was hoping the situation and pandemic would turn around for I have no ability to maintain those payments.
Your setting is unfortunate ( politely said) but the filing of an application for downward modification is a very important one and if done wrong, will have material consequences to you. Translated, if you screw it up, you cant then simply hire a lawyer to refile it correctly since the refiling... Read more »

We have joint custody of three children. I am the parent of primary residence. He pays me $400 a month for three children in child support. My boyfriend moved in and now my ex wants to stop his child support payments.
The short answer is No, since your boyfriend does not have a legal obligation to support the children of your prior relationship with your former husband. Child support in NJ is calculated based on your gross income ( or an imputed gross employment income to you), your former husband's gross... Read more »

I am now divorced from my first wife and want to marry my second wife to make it a valid marriage.

Im not sure I understand what you mean when you say that your 1st divorce was not valid? But there is a recent NJ appellate division decision addressing this issue, where the parties were "married" for 25 years but when the wife filed for divorce, the husband claimed that their marriage...
