Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

my friend has just been blindsided by her husband that he wants a divorce. she is in no emotional state to disciss legal issues with anyone. he keeps asking her to call a realtor and "get the ball rolling" so he can get an apartment and get on with his life. it has only been 2 weeks. my question is, how long can she hold off on making her decision to try to keep the house herself or to sell it?

Your friend does not need to do ANYTHING just because her soon-to-be exhusband is demanding it. She needs emotional support, and you can give her that. I can give her the legal advice that she is going to need.

She does not need to decide whether to sell or keep now, nor for as long as it takes to make up her mind. I will gladly push back on him to get her the time she needs to think this through.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the answer to your question. You can not rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the formation that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. For me to give you any legal advice, I would need for you to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly. I would be happy to assist you.
