I am about to get married, what can I do to protect myself?

Answered by attorney Bari Zell Weinberger
Divorce lawyer at Weinberger Divorce Family Law Group, LLC
Thank you for your question. You are in a predicament for certain.  You’ve invested 5 years of your life into a relationship that is tainted and you still have the stamina to resurrect the trust and love you have in him.  The good news is that he is in therapy and therefore he recognizes his foibles.  As a legal matter, the marriage document does not make you a joint debtor unless you co-sign or otherwise agree to assume those liabilities.  A pre-nuptial agreement is the way to protect assets for sure.  If you have significant assets you should get a family lawyer to prepare such a document prior to your marriage.  If not, be sure to maintain separate bank accounts and DO NOT co-sign any loans and/or assume any debts he has already incurred.  Ultimately should he default in any payments, the creditor will pursue his assets including wage garnishments and bank levies.  But it cannot and will not seek payment from you.  So remember to keep a separate checking and savings.  I sincerely hope your marriage will be a success otherwise.  Just so you know every married couple has issues and debt.  You are not alone but at least your husband to be is seeking therapy.  Be sure you are included in that!  Best wishes.

Is the property settlement agreement has to be enclosed in the judgement?

Cassandra T Savoy
Answered by attorney Cassandra T Savoy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cassandra T. Savoy, PC
Of course, you can get a judgement of divorce without a property settlement agreement (PSA), but it would not be advisable if you have property that needs sharing.   Property means bank accounts, investment accounts, pensions, 401K's, IRA's Roth IRA's, valuable art, automobiles, tax liabilities, credit card debt, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other economic valuables.  Once the judgement of divorce is entered, you will want all economic matters, all economic issues, concerning the marriage should be resolved at that time.  Without a writing, commonly called the "Property Settlement Agreement", you will be unable to enforce the verbal agreement you may have made. In addition, you will want all matters regarding custody and parenting time with your children resolved as well.  For example,  you will want to have a writting as to:  where  the children live; what time will they spend with the other parent; how will holidays be shared; where will the exchanges occur; and, at what time, to name some of the issues.  While parenting time is always flexible, having a writing gives the children a schedule which helps them feel safe, and parents will have an idea of when they might have free time.

Can I take our car from my wife since it’s in both our names?

Cassandra T Savoy
Answered by attorney Cassandra T Savoy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cassandra T. Savoy, PC
There is no self-help in the State of New Jersey. If you can not negotiate the car, you probably need to file an action with the court.
