Clinton, NJ Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You need a consultation with a divorce law specialist or both of you should meet with a divorce law specialist jointly for mediation purposes. I cannot tell you whether you have an alimony obligation or what the duration should be without asking a whole host of questions about your financial setting as well as your wife’s current employment setting (and if she is not working full time, determining a fair level of income to impute to her for full-time employment).  If nothing else, it is probably worth your while to pay for 1-2 sessions with a family law specialist for mediation purposes. If nothing else, it will flesh out your respective positions and hopefully, the lawyer will be able to give you recommendations for the settlement of those claims.     

It may be a conflict; it presents the appearance of a possible conflict. Have they asked you for a conflict waiver? Have they simply been silent? Have you protested? Edward Zohn, Attorney at Law, 908.791.0312

Thank you for your question, I will be happy to assist. Adultery is grounds for divorce in NJ, however, it will not impact the overall outcome of the distribution of marital property unless there were dissipation of assets that benefited the adulterous relationship. At the end of the day, the divorce can still be granted for adultery, but your property will still be equitably distributed. It would be wise to contact an experienced family law attorney to answer any specific questions that you may have.
