Q: Where do I need to file for divorce if I having residing in NJ and my wife in Puerto Rico.
We have been marry for more than 30 years, but children are adults. We only seen each other once a year in the last few year. Do she entittle to alimony and for how long? Can she accused me for adultery if we have not live together for more than one year.
A: Since you are a NJ resident, you must file in NJ. Whether or not she accuses you of adultery, it is irrelevant to all financial issues.There is also a very large difference between accusing someone of something and being able to successfully prove it in a Court of law. To properly answer your questions and address your concerns, the best way to handle this is by retaining an experienced matrimonial attorney. Good luck.
