Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
You can retain a lawyer anywhere in NJ presently since most lawyers are meeting with their clients through Zoom teleconference technology and most courts are still proceeding through zoom for court proceedings as well. But, if you are more comfortable working with a local lawyer, then look for divorce lawyers in your county. If there are any complications to your matter, then your google search should be for "Certified Matrimonial Trial Lawyers by the New Jersey Supreme Court", since only 2% of all lawyers in the state of NJ have met the qualifications for 'certificaiton" by the court system.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joanna Marie Mitchell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Joanna Mitchell & Associates, P.A.
Unless you have an agreement, in writing, that has been filed with the Court, then I would not be so sure that everything has been agreed. If you do not file a response, a default will be entered against you and you can lose serious rights forever, especially those surrounding your rights to spend time with your minor child. If you do not respond, you could be in serious trouble. And yes, a Judge can modify your agreement, especially on the issue of child support. You need to respond and you need to consult with and retain an attorney. Detailed answers to many frequently asked questions regarding divorce, custody, visitation, child support, alimony, paternity and other Family Law matters are located on my website. Be sure to stop by and check it out! And of course, if you have a question that is not addressed, please feel free to email me directly. Additionally, if your existing or potential case is in or near the Central Florida area (Orange, Osceola, Lake, Sumter, Marion, and nearby counties), I would be more than happy to speak with you personally regarding your potential Family Law matter. My office offers free initial telephone consultations, during which we can discuss your matter in more detail, as well as explore the potential rights and options available to you. If you would like to coordinate a free initial telephone consultation, please contact my office.

Can u sell your house before you get a divorce without your spouse knowing

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
No - if the home is the marital residence, or if your spouse's name is on the deed.  If you are going to file for divorce, then you should not be disposing of any assets.
