What are my rights while I get divorced?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
You need to get an attorney to help you figure all of this out. Generally, you want to file bankruptcy together because then there may be more exemptions. On the other hand, you might be able to make it more difficult for him if you file on your own. As for taking care of you, nothing will happen until you file for divorce and ask for him to provide additional support. Talk with the bankruptcy attorney and see what your options are.

What can be done to stop alimony payments upon loosing a job or retiring.

Bari Zell Weinberger
Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
In order to stop or adjust alimony payments, it is your burden to prove to the court that there is a significant change in circumstances since the order for alimony was entered. A job loss or reduction in salary more often than not is seen as a "temporary" change and would probably not move the court to stop your alimony. Retirment, however, is a permanent change in circumstances that should trigger the end of alimony.

What happens when my husband and I separate in New Jersey?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Paul G. Kostro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Paul G. Kostro, A Professional Corporation
The Legislature has established both absolute divorce and divorce from bed and board in New Jersey. N.J.S.A. 2A:34-3 sets out the requirements for a judgment of divorce from bed and board. The New Jersey Supreme Court explained that the difference between the two types of divorce was that absolute divorce dissolves the marital bond and all dower rights are barred. In divorce from bed and board the marital bond subsists; i.e., divorce from bed and board is not a true divorce since it does not dissolve the bonds of matrimony but merely decrees a judicial separation. Significantly, in order to remarry after having obtained a judgment of divorce from bed and board, the parties must apply to the court for conversion of the bed and board divorce to an absolute divorce. The primary purpose for obtaining a divorce from bed and board is to terminate the marital obligations of cohabitation and support.
