Brick, NJ Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Thank you for your question.As part of a divorce it will need to be determined what will occur with the home. Regardless of whose name the home is in, if it was purchase during the marriage with marital funds, it is a marital asset that will need to be divided. In some cases, one party may wish to keep the home and buy out the others interest. Generally after this occurs the party that maintains the home is responsible for the costs. In other situations, neither party may be able to afford the home and it will need to be sold with the proceeds to be split. Based on your circumstances, I would suggest contacting an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.I hope this information was helpful to you.

You asked:  Do I need an updated order reduced to judgment or does the original judgment stand and still apply?Additional Details:I was granted a judgment in 2005 as part of a divorce. It was to enforce my prenup. The prenup stated 1/7 up front and quarterly payments thereafter until 2014. Since no monies were paid by the debtor and several years have now passed, what do I need to have updated in order to show the current amount owed to me? Monmouth County Court house said a motion. Trenton said two diferent answeres: Amend the order, or get a new order reduced to judgement. Thank you in advance for your help. I am a Michigan attorney, and strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a local attorney.  I may be able to give you some guidance, however.  I think you asking what to do if your ex failed to pay for several years, and you want to collect the arrearage.  It is not clear if your ex owes you alimony or some other form of payment.  In Michigan, I would file a Motion for an Order to Show Cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for failure to pay.  Additionally, I would seek an income withholding order for all future payments.  Finally, I would consider having the amount he owes you in the future reduce to a present value and have the arrearage and the present value of future payment reduced to a judgment that could be collected as any other judgment, such as garnishment or seizure of property.
