Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Property

Thank you for your inquiry.

Regarding the issue regarding the selling of marital (or former) property, I would need to see the language contained in your final divorce decree. I would also need to know whether that party is still on the Deed.

Regarding emancipation of children, ifthe divorce decree does not discuss this issue, then we need to turn to the relevant case law here in New Jersey.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your situation, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,

Re: Emancipation and property sale

"Emancipation" is not defined by age, it is defined by status. Thus, if the child is still in school at age 25, he/she may not be emancipated. On the other hand, a child who is married at age 17 would be emancipated. A careful review of all of the facts and circumstances is necessary. Similarly, I cannot answer your question about the property without reviewing the deed. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
