Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: What am I entitled too.

Whatever was acquired by either of you during your marriage which was not received as a gift or

inheritance and was not commingled with the other's assets is a marital asset and distributable in a divorce.

If stock was acquired using funds acquired during

the marriage the stock is a marital asset. If the house was place in both your names it is a marital asset. There should a paper trail from the marital earnings to the stocks or other investments.

Call me if you like.

Re: What am I entitled too.

Oh, for heaven's sake, I see too many of you trusting ladies whose husbands think they can trick you out of everything.

NO, it does not mean you get left with nothing just because you trusted him and did not demand that all the earnings etc. be put in joint names.

But it does mean that the divorce Judge has to straighten it out (you can not cash stocks that are in accounts only in his name, for example).

You are entitled to equitable distribution (most often an equal split, but not always) of all assets acquired during the marriage. that includes lots of items that you would not easily think of.

And we have not discussed ALIMONY, which you may be entitled to.

You really need to meet with a divorce attorney and get some solid advice. Find someone not too far away who spends a lot of his/her time practicing divorce law.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. I will be happy to discuss this with you; the telephone consultation will be free.

Re: What am I entitled too.

As the other attorneys indicated, a marital asset is a marital asset and you will get your share. You are going to need a good attorney to help you with all of this. The attorneys on this board are a great place to start.

My initial consultations are always free, so feel free to call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss your situation in more detail.

Good luck!
