For an ncontested divorce, what happens if I do not file a pettition response?

Your wife should present your written agreement to the court. If you do not have a written agreement, then you are at risk. She could go in and ask for more than you agreed upon. Since this would be a default hearing you would not have a right to be heard. You would have to make a request to set aside the judgment due to excusable neglect. Whether that would happen I cannot predict. The best course would be to file an answer.

Filed for chapter 13, filed for divorce also, my wife thinks I have a smoking gun account.....I have no money, brutal divorce...anyone can help me.

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. I understand your concerns as it relates to a divorce. In New Jersey, the filing of a bankruptcy does stay a divorce in the sense that the distribution of debts cannot occur until the finalization of the bankruptcy. In any event, your Wife can still seek information as it relates to records. As part of the divorce there is a period of discovery where both parties are entitled to obtain information from the other party to assist in resolution. Whether or not this leads to information that is relevant is another issue. Based on your circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.I hope this information was helpful to you.

Divorced from bed and board, in selling marital home, I find that due to my disability I cannot find housing can I request delay in sale of home?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

That is something that can be negotiated in the divorce proceedings or you can make arrangements to stay in the house under a use and occupancy agreement (also known as a U&O).  Good luck.
