- Q. I bought a home in NJ and titled it in my daughters name. Now she is getting divorced what is my exposure?
- A: Thank you for your question. There are many factors that the Court looks at in a divorce proceeding and how to divide the assets that were acquired during the marriage. Your daughter’s spouse can claim that the home is subject to equitable distribution and that it should be incorporated in the overall divorce proceeding. In order to protect your interests in the home, more information is required regarding the specific’s of the purchase, the reasons for it being placed in your daughter's name, and the circumstances around the acquisition of the property. I would suggest a consult with a lawyer to discuss this further, provide more insight as to how to address this issue and protect your claim to the asset.
- Q. My ex filed a continuation of cs in New Jersey. Staying my daughter is in college. I was told she isn’t going to college
- A: Thank you for your question. I am sorry your ex-wife is apparently being deceitful. You have to file an application (Notice of Motion) with the court asking that your child support be terminated due to the fact that your child is no longer in college. At that time, your ex then has to provide proof that your daughter is a full-time college student. There may be some exceptions (if she was sick and could not attend, for example), so I strongly recommend that you consult with a Family law attorney in order to fully explore your options and your rights.
- Q. Can my ex request a meeting with my new girlfriend in order to allow her to see my kids?
- A: Thank you for your question. There is no legal basis for your former spouse to request a meeting with your new girlfriend. Parties are free to make private agreements with any provisions they desire. Based on the information you provided, you only agreed to consult each other regarding third parties being present during your respective visits with the children. If she continues to insist on this meeting or limits your ability to see the children, you may apply to the Family Court to enforce the existing agreement. I urge you to schedule a consultation with an experienced family law attorney to understand your rights.
