Could I continue without a lawyer ?

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
Despite the fact that the lawyer passed away, there should have been another lawyer appointed to take over the handling of his outstanding client matters. If you call his office or email him, you should get some type of notification, telling you the name of the lawyer who has taken over the handling of your matter. If you do not get that information or a response, you should contact the Office of Attorney Ethics, whose main office telephone number is 609-403-7800. The department will guide you to whomever has taken over that lawyers client matters and / or assist you in getting back some of your retainer monies. As for moving forward with your divorce, you can also contact the family part section of the courthouse to find out the name and telphone number of the judge handling your divorce. You can then reach out to chambers to let them know that your lawyer has passed away and that you wish to proceed pro se. Someone should be able to assist you in filing the substitution of counsel form so that you can take over your own representation. As it stands now, all notifications are being sent to your lawyers attention ( since he is listed as counsel of record in your matter).

Am I entitled to divorce alimony?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
Yes. You will be entitled to spousal support also known as maintenance or alimony if your husband was the main bread winner during the marriage, and you need assistance to support yourself in a manner consistent with the standard of living achieved during the marriage.

What do I do if my ex lives with a partner but will not get married because her lifetime alimony ends?

Answered by attorney Sarina Gianna
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Sarina Gianna, LLC
In order to accurately answer this question, I would need to read the terms of your specific settlement agreement as that document would explain what the triggering events would be to modify or terminate your alimony obligation. However, if your agreement indicates that cohabitation is a triggering event, then you would have to prove that she lives with this person and that this individual is contributing financially to her needs to the degree that her alimony needs are reduced. This would all have to be done via filing a motion with the court and many times, a private investigator is utilized to try to prove the cohabitation. Typically, this is not an easy motion to succeed on as it can be difficult to prove the financial contribution by this individual to your ex spouse's needs, but I hope this helps answer your question.
