Q: precedents to use for o N.J.S.2a:23B 2A: 23B-24 and N.J.S.2a:23B 2A: 23B-20

A: You need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney. No one will do free legal research for you. 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, you will could get slaughtered (figuratively speaking). Do not let geographic restrictions get in the way of retaining the best attorney. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.

A: Thank you for your question.

As it relates to reconsideration it depends what you are seeking to reconsider. If the Court made an improper determination any you believe that the Court erred in making the decision for failing to consider certain evidence or erred as it relates to it’s reasoning, a motion for reconsideration may be appropriate. In addition, it must be brought within 20 days of the decision. If too much time has elapsed are you believe the Judge erred after full consideration of the evidence the proper course of action may be to file an appeal. If you have additional questions, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.

I hope this information was helpful to you.
